To block Facebook videos using a Sophos Firewall, follow these steps:
-
Go to Web Policies and click Add policy. This initiates the creation of a new web policy to restrict access to specific web content.
-
Enter a name. Choose a descriptive name for the policy (e.g., "Block Facebook Videos").
-
Click Add rule. This adds a rule to the policy to define the criteria for blocking content.
-
Click the drop-down under Activities and remove All web traffic. Removing "All web traffic" allows you to specify the exact type of traffic you want to block.
-
Click Add new item. This allows you to define specific criteria, in this case, the Facebook video category.
-
Click the drop-down and select Web category. Choose the web category option to filter based on website categories.
-
Search and select the Facebook videos web category you created and click Apply selected items. Select the pre-defined "Facebook videos" web category or create one if it doesn't exist. Applying the selected items finalizes the rule.
By following these steps within the Sophos Firewall interface, you can effectively block access to Facebook videos for users on your network. Keep in mind that the exact steps and terminology might vary slightly depending on the specific version of Sophos Firewall you are using, but the overall principle remains the same.
