Blocking non HTTP content

[chaugi]

Dear supporters,

Could you please tell me is it possible in Wingate 6.2.2 to block non HTTP content.
For e.g. Skype uses proxy to transfer data. As well as internet radio is transfered via proxy somehow and I have no idea how to block internet radio for all users.

Thank you.

Hi

So you have apps using the HTTP proxy for things other than say web browsing that you want to block?

This is still HTTP, therefore the content is still "HTTP content". If you want to block certain types of HTTP traffic vs other types to stop say skype etc, you''ll need to create rules to block the specific sorts of requests used by these apps, e.g. block the server they hit, etc

Regards

Hello,

Yes!

I know that skype can connect to different IP's using CONNECT method so it is impossible to define all IP to which it connects. The only thing is to set rule which does not allow direct connections to IP only to DNS names. Is it possible?!
For e.g. in SQUID it is possible to block Skype

acl CONNECT method CONNECT
acl skype url_regex ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+

deny_info ERR_CLIENT_HTTPS2IP_DENIED skype
http_access deny CONNECT skype

With internet radio it is even worse as I cannot define how internet radio is established. For e.g. ProxyInspector in summary shows internet radio traffic as well as skype traffic as URL not specified...

Any suggestions?!
