We have Premium Content Filtering on our system and all of the
sites listed below were stopped by the SonicWall. However, today I found
2 sites, https://www.schoolister.com
and https://www.allaboutabe.com that
the SonicWall did not block. It blocked the http side but did not block
https. I put ACL’s on my Router’s outbound interface to block
them. These sites were some of the most sophisticated I have seen using javascript
to mask the site as usatoday’s website to try and fool the
Firewall. Hopefully this is not a trend.

The Sonicwall will only work in this fashion if you have the
content filter license. It is also only as good as the filtering people. Do you
have a current Content Filter license? You can also manually add these sites on
a block page even if you do not have the content filter.

Subject: proxy sites and SonicWall
While browsing through our SonicWall (SOHO3) settings,
I came across one that says it is for having the SonicWall block proxy servers.
(I don't have my notes at the moment to give a more precise description.)
I tried setting this, but it seemed to be completely ineffective.
After setting it, I tried using a number of proxy servers listed on www.proxy.org
and through them getting to www.facebook.com
(which I have set to be blocked by our SonicWall).
Got to facebook every time.
Is there no reasonable way to block proxy servers -- and if not, doesn't that
mightily decrease the value of web filters?

Dear
List:
I
have the ability to block URLs
I
can block URL keywords like proxy (blocks myproxy.com, but also proxyz.com
[potential for unintended consequences])
My
new strategy is that I can have certain words/combinations listed on a page
trigger a block (PHPproxy or CGIproxy listed on the page = block)
Can't
do that with filter or tunnel though, too many false positives ... but I am
hoping the people who run these sites like to brag or at least mention which
type they use.
below
are some of the latest, only had one known student visit 1 site (turned in
a faculty member) but all these were unblocked as of today.
