Issue with allowing access to specific websites

[ETNY_Admin]

Hello,

I recently purchased iNet protector after a demo from a client of mine that showed the program was adaptable to blocking/allowing many web pages (and HTTPS).

I've setup the program and reviewed the FAQ list, and I still cannot get certain sites to work properly. I have a setup where all sites are blocked except sites that are specifically listed in the "allowed sites" tab. Perhaps I am not using wildcards properly - please review regarding the notes below and let me know how I can best troubleshoot:

(1) www.cnn.com - main page shows text only and links are the same. I've tried "www.cnn.com", "*.cnn.com", "cnn.com", and "www.cnn.*" without success.

(2) www.weatherchannel.com - cannot get page to display no matter what I try in the allowed sites listing

Also, I notice with some pages (www.ny1.com) that the main page works and all links off the page, but links/pictures that normally appear on links from the main home page do not display. Please let me know if I can change a setting to resolve this.

Best,
E_Admin

Hi,

The problem with www.cnn.com is that it looks as if all the images come from http://i.cdn.turner.com or http://i2.cdn.turner.com rather than cnn.com

It seems more & more web sites are doing things like this, but most will use a different subdomain (e.g. images.cnn.com) rather than a completely different domain.

And when I go to www.weatherchannel.com it immediately redirects to www.weather.com so you'd have to allow weather.com as well.
And again to get images to laod you'd need to allow http://i.imwx.com

Try

*cnn*
*turner*
*weather*
*imwx*

note the astterisks - they will work as wildcards, please get back to us if this does not work.

I'm having the same kind of problem with


http://www.rememberthemilk.com

I can never login and i have tried rememberthemilk.com and *rememberthemilk*

Yes, because most likely you have not allowed secure web pages. You must allow this under Settings - Allowed Services because the login page is a secure one (not http but https address).
