Unable to block blacklisted porn websites

I am trying to configure blocking on a wFilter configuration.



I have the following setup so far:



Internet -> Cisco ASA5505 -> SPAN port to wFilter computer (Dedicated Network Card - 10.0.0.100)

|

|

|

48 Port Gigabit Switch

|

|

|

|

Entire Network (192.168.102.0/24)



The wFilter computer has three Network cards:



10.0.0.100 - Span / monitoring interface

IP: 10.0.0.100

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: Unset



192.168.102.190 - remote access interface

IP: 192.168.102.190

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.102.1



192.168.102.195 - blocking interface

IP: 192.168.102.195

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.102.1





Within wFilter itself I have the following:



Under User-computer Table

User-account table

Selected Domain users have 'ACP Default' Blocking level applied





Under Blocking Levels

'ACP Default'

Enable Web Category Rule -> ACP Default Policy





Under Category Access Policy

'ACP Default Policy'

Selection of 'Deny' Access Policies





The Domain User 'Administrator' has the ACP Default Blocking level applied which has the ACP Default Policy applied which in turn has "Sexual" -> "Adult" set to 'Deny'



This user has been logged out and back in since applying the settings to wFilter but is still able to access porntube.com and sex.com (as an example).

The "Web Category Access Policy" is based on a default url database of WFilter. However, the url database can not cover all websites in internet.

You may search a domain in "Category Settings"->"Category Search". If the search result is "not found", it means this domain is not in the default url database.

You have two solutions:

1. Once you find a domain not blocked, you can add it to the default url database in "Categories List"->"Add websites to a catagory"

2. Enable "Url Keywords Filtering". This feature blocks url based on keywords. For example, you may add "sex, porn" to the keywords list. So *sex*, *porn** will be blocked. Please check this guide: How to block porn websites from network computers?
