Blocking Sites Temporarily with Service Settings
Use service properties to automatically and temporarily block sites when
incoming traffic attempts to use a denied service. You can use this feature
to individually log, block, and monitor sites that attempt access to
restricted ports on your network.
Configuring a service to temporarily block sites
Configure the service to automatically block sites that attempt to connect
using a denied service. From Policy Manager:
1 Double-click the service icon in the Services Arena.
The Properties dialog box appears.
2 Use the Incoming service Connections Are drop list to select Enabled
and Denied.
3 Enable the checkbox marked Auto-block sites that attempt to connect
via service, located at the bottom of the dialog box.
Viewing the Blocked Sites list
The Blocked Sites list is a compilation of all sites currently blocked by the
Firebox. Use Firebox Monitors to view sites that are automatically blocked
according to a service’s property configuration. From Control Center:
1 On the toolbar, click the Firebox Monitors icon (shown
at right).
2 Click the Blocked Site List tab at the bottom of the
graph.
You might need to use the arrows to access this tab. The Blocked
Sites list appears.
