The log in traffic monitor would tell you which content type is blocked; let's take example: application/octet-stream is blocked; then edit the HTTP proxy service, go to Properties; next to Proxy Action, click View/Edot Procy button; navigate to HTTP Response-&gt;Content Types; click Predefined, select application/octet-stream; click OK. Save setting to firebox.<br />
<br />
That did it!

Dear all,<br />
<br />
So I jsut purchased WebBlocker from Watchguard (Firebox 550e) and even though I have YouTube and Vimeo on the exception list, the website loads, but the streaming video just times out and never streams.<br />
WebBlocker created a policy &quot;HTTP-proxy&quot; and it goes from Any-Trusted to Any-External on port 80.<br />
If I turn off that policy, video streams fine.<br />
<br />
Am I missing a policy?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Dear all,

So I jsut purchased WebBlocker from Watchguard (Firebox 550e) and even though I have YouTube and Vimeo on the exception list, the website loads, but the streaming video just times out and never streams.
WebBlocker created a policy "HTTP-proxy" and it goes from Any-Trusted to Any-External on port 80.
If I turn off that policy, video streams fine.

Am I missing a policy?

Thanks in advance.

Turning on Watchguard WebBlocker blocks all streaming video (YouTube, Vimeo, Apple Quicktime)

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
