Yes it can. It depends on how your clients connect through WinGate. The easiest option for you might be to ensure that Intercepts are turned on in the WWW Proxy Service.

Then, create a policy for "Everyone". Add an Advanced Filter, with one criteria that is:

"This Right is Granted if HTTP URL contains <site1>"

Add a second Advanced Filter with one criteria that is:

"This Right is Granted if HTTP URL contains <site2>"

Then, set the Policy so that Default Rights are Ignored, and all should work perfectly.

Is these feature enabled on Wingate demonstration copy?
Thanks

Yes. The trial license has all the features WinGate has to offer enabled. (Enterprise, Unlimited Users)

Pascal,

I´ve tryed exactly what you suggest, but it didn´t work.
Is there any other parameter that have to be set? I´m connecting via WinGate Client.

Can you export your WinGate registry and email it to me, then I'll have a look through it for you.

Otherwise:

Where did you set the policy?
Are you ignoring System Policies?

http://forums.qbik.com/viewtopic.php?t=3080 that post has a good amount of details on policy setup.

Okay, I found the problem with that. (I think). If I import that registry everything works fine - I can go to any site containing "linter". Anything else, including the popups that come up after closing linter.com are blocked with "You are not authorised to view this page".

So, your policy setup is 100%. I think the only problem remaining could be that you do not have your users going through the proxy. This is most likely because you are using NAT / Wingate Internet Client and have not turned on Intercepts (On the Sessions page) of the WWW Proxy Service.

How do your clients connect through WinGate?

Pascal,

I´ve turned on Intercepts as you suggested and now WinGate is working fine.

Thank you.
