Is it blocked via firewall rules or blocked via content filtering?<br />
<br />
If it's due to FW rule then disable then you can create a temporary exception or disable the rule for now. &nbsp;The instruction below should give you a nice screenshot on the settings required:<br />

Btw, what's the exact message Sonicwall gave? Is the department website in a different subnet or VN? &nbsp;If yes, then all you probably need to do is create an exception FW rule to allow communication from/to that specific server.

Hello, <br />
I have an issue with sonicwall blocking an ip address that is hosting a depts website, which now they are not able to access from within the network. I have a SonicWall NSA 4600. I need to allow the users to access the ip address to continue website maintenance. It worked before until after an update. <br />
Thanks, <br />

sonicwall botnet filter alert

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware 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.

Network Security

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.

Network Operations

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
