Hi Tom,
What about if the user is smart enough changing the executable name to 
something else? what about for safari, opera, Netscape, mozilla???
looks like my only option is removing firewall client and pushing proxy 
settings through group policy. Also following one of my last post, I had to run 
the firewall service under local system account instead of network service due 
to some incompability with 3rd party tools. Do you think that might be a 
problem too?
Regards

Hi Ara,

Good question. None that I can think of, because the hosts have to be 
configured as Web proxy clients for it to work. You can't use authentication to 
control this, because the Firewall client can authenticate too. I suppose you 
could disable=1 for the Firefox executable. That will cause the Firewall client 
to bypass connections from Firefox and then then when authentication is 
enforced, then they must be Web proxy clients since SecureNAT clients can't 
auth.

That should work.

Hi Tom,

Is there any way to stop those firewall clients' users bypassing the web filter 
using fire fox?

Thank you

Hi Dan,
 
Yeah, its a real problem. The HTTP redirector would work for anonymous 
connections in 2000, but the auth model changed (for the better) for 2004, but 
the filter guys didn't get wind of it or something, so now if you allow users 
to disable their Web proxy config, they can still auth via FWC and get by the 
Web filter, even though the Web proxy filter is still bound to the HTTP 
protocol.
 
Supposed to be fixed soon, though.
