This article applies to our On-Premise Appliance Filter and Firewall product only, not to Cloud.
When your organisation starts using Smoothwall Filter, these default HTTPS Inspection Policies are automatically applied to ensure Smoothwall can filter content:
- Do not inspect the Authentication exceptions and Online Banking categories.
- Decrypt and inspect for Everything else.
If your policies look different to what’s shown below, you can:
- Add new HTTPS Inspection Policies.
- Change the order, edit or delete your policies.
- Add trusted sites to your Authentication exceptions category to save computing power and prevent issues with websites that won’t work when being inspected.
We recommend you have a policy to Decrypt and inspect Everyone Everything Everywhere Always.
