Summary:
This article shows you how to set the Smoothwall to block specific images on the Google Image search results.
Problem:
Even with ‘Force SafeSearch’ switched on, sometimes it might not filter out some inappropriate images.
Solution:
To make this work successfully, there are three steps involved:
- Set up a HTTPS Decrypt and Inspect policy:
- Go to > HTTPS inspection > Policy wizard.
- Create your new policy:
- Who: Everyone*
- What: Web Search, Content Delivery
- Where: Everywhere*
- When: Always*
- Action: Decrypt and inspect
Make sure you place the policy at the top of the policy table.
- Set up the Force SafeSearch content modification:
- Go to Guardian > Content modification > Manage policies.
- Create your new policy as follows:
- Who: Everyone*
- What: Everything
- Where: Everywhere*
- Action: Apply Force SafeSearch
Make sure you place the policy at the top of the policy table.
- Set up a custom category of Images to block:
- Go to Guardian > Policy Object > Categories.
- Under the Manage Categories section, type your category Name, for example, Blocked Images.
- For the image that you want to block, click on the image to expand it, then right-click on it and select the option to copy the image's address/location:
4. If you are using Google Chrome, make sure that you only select the URL after the colon, demonstrated in the image below.
- In the Domain/URL filtering section paste the image's URL and click Save.
- Go to Guardian > Web Filter > Policy Wizard.
- Create your new policy as follows:
- Who: Everyone*
- What: Blocked Images
- Where: Everywhere*
- When: Always*
- Action: Block
* Change as appropriate
Note: Customers on a release before Leeds-1 also need to set up this content modification: QUIC removal.
