You can exempt specific devices from any web filtering. You can configure exceptions based on the source IP address or the destination IP address.
A source exception IP using a nontransparent connection has unfiltered access to the Internet if configured to use port 801. A source exception IP going through an interface where transparent proxy is turned on, doesn't have outgoing HTTP or HTTPS traffic redirected to the Smoothwall Filter. A source exception IP using a transparent connection doesn't need client browser configuration.
A destination exception IP, which goes through an interface where transparent proxy is turned on, doesn't have outgoing HTTP or HTTPS traffic redirected to the Smoothwall Filter.
Procedure
- On the GUARDIAN menu, under the Web filter submenu, click Exceptions.
- To configure a source exception, under the Manage source exceptions section, enter the Source exception IP addresses, IP ranges or IP addresses with CIDR notation of the devices to be exempted.
- To configure a destination exception, under the Manage destination exceptions section, enter the Destination exception IP addresses, IP ranges or IP addresses with CIDR notation of the devices to be exempted.
- Click Save.
