USG 20 Https restriction (content filter 2.0)

Franc

Hi,

I have the necessity to blok/restrict the internet surfing in https websites.

Content filter works well but it doesn't recognize the https protocol.. it works only with http.

My question are:

1) can i install the content filter 2.0 on my USG 20?

2) any suggests to restrict the internet surfing in https websites ?

Thank-you and best regards

Hi @Franc

The USG20 does not support Content Filter 2.0 .

To restrict the internet surfing in https websites, it can be solved by using the HTTPS Domain Filter for HTTPS traffic on content filter 2.0

Here is the reference of HTTPS Domain Filter:

Hi @Franc

After converting the configuration file, apply the converted file on USG60. When applying the converted configuration file, the device will give you some options to choose. 

Choose the “Ignore errors and finish applying the configuration file”.

Dear @Zyxel_Jerry

thank-you for your reply.

One last question, if I'll upgrade to usg 60 for example, can I import the configuration from the USG 20?

Thanks
