EXE blocking on 2820n FW 3351 was created by davidmatthewson
Hi
I'm trying to block users from d/l EXE & COM files from the 'net which runs via a 2820n with 3351 firmware.
But can't get it to work at all.
I've set the Objects Setting >> File Extension Object Setup to block exe & com and then created a filter in CSM >> URL Content Filter Profile which uses the File Extension Profile I defined but I can still go to, say, htttp:\\servername\test.exe and d/l it with no problems.
So, (I) HAS ANYONE GOT THIS TO WORK? & (ii) if so, how?
Thanks
David

you need to apply it from the Firewall - General Setup page as well, just select the App enforcement profile you've made and that should work.

Thanks for the prompt reply - good thinking! (Draytek need to make a flowchart to help idiots like me follow the 'linkage' of the various filters.)
Anyway, if I now switch URL Content Filter in Firewall >> General Setup = ON and try a site with http://www.servername\test.exe I can still d/l it...
I would have expected the 2820 to block it....
Any more ideas pls?
Thanks

Bad form to reply to one's own posts but....
I wandered off to get a coffee and just retried clicking on the same EXE file link and it gets blocked with the default warning message.
Good.. but...
If I click a second time I can d/l it.. I can also d/l other EXEs..
So it seems like some temporal thing going on as well.
Has anyone got this to work reliably? - and reliable is essential for a security device...
