Hello There

Hello, I’d like to ask you to help me. We use KSC policy (Web Control) to block the Internet connection. However, we need to allow the Internet access for one application (it’s a chat desktop app). The problem is that it’s impossible to get all IP addresses the application is connecting to because servers are around tho world and there are dozens of them. Even if I specify public IP ranges the application uses and allow the category “Chats, forums, IM” in Web Control, application is not working. Is there any workaround how to allow this application to have full Internet access? Thank you for your time. KES: 11.2.0.2254 NA: 11.0.0.1131 KSC: 11.0.0.1131

I understand. However, I’d like to invite more community members to review this thread and share their opinion. I am missing this function here.

Hi, only two experts replied. I’d like to know the opinion from other experts. Thank you.

Can you request other community experts to look at this topic? Maybe they will come up with a solution or workaround.

Any other suggestions?

It didn’t work as I expected.

Can you point me where I find it? If I understand it correctly, the traffic won’t be scanned... But it will be blocked anyway, won’t it?

Before I try it, what about important web pages that users need to browse?

I haven’t tried it but I know it will not work. In “Browsing web pages“ you block ports 80, 443 that need to be allowed for the application communication. Also, we need to block all Internet access except for one desktop application and approx. 30 webpages (portals, etc.). If I block “Browsing web pages”, they won’t be able to open important webpages. That’s why we use Web Control and it’s working fine. We just need to allow the Internet access for one application.

Can I ask how you blocked internet using web control component via KSC? Any content - To all addresses - To all users - Block - Always I can suggest allowing internet and then blocking all apps that are not required, and using the only one that you require, using the application control and firewall component. Please expand this. This is not about apps. This is about blocking the Internet access for users. If I allow the Internet access and block specific apps, user will be able to browse the Internet which is undesirable.
