I dont think there is a link between the two. And the content filter does work. I have two customers who keep their employees off those websites that are most likely to infect your computer with some virus.
In fact, it works too well - the wrong word on the news page of sites like msn.com or yahoo.com will prevent them from opening, so you have to place them in the whitelist. It works thru the Advanced Web Proxy, which unless the proxy address is set up in IE, will not be used by default. Setting it to 'transparent on Green' will solve all that without you having to change IE's settings on all the clients. And of course Contentfilter is enabled there as well. On the Content filter page, I set it up like this for businesses: Max score: 300, PICS enabled Block Pages with categories: (all you decide) Block pages known to have content: (all you decide) Black and white lists: (as needed) If you've set this, and it still isnt working, try rebooting the efw. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephane Parenton Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 11:53 AM To: efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Efw-user] Problems updating snort And content filter...

But it does not end here... I tried the content filter in order to prove my customer that it can be useful... Bad Idea !!! I tried to put on all the porno and sexual things and typed www.grosseins.com (bigboobs.com should exist also in english...)... I was quite amazed that i can access the site without any trouble... I did also put http://www.grosseins.com in the black list, but it also failed to block the site.... Is the oink code related to the content filter or a snort general problem on this version ? I don't know... What I know is that the "mother who wanted her kid to be protected by the content filter" had quite surprise to see i did not work as it should...
