Regex Policy Installation Issue

Juan_Concepcion — Fri, 08 Sep 2017 21:07:36 GMT

I have an R80.10 installation and I'm attempting to allow access to opendns. Given that at times there is a name pre-pended to the url of opendns I created the following Regex: [\w:\/\/][\w][-]opendns\.com

When I have this regex defined, used in policy or not, I cannot install policy (error below):

Gateway:
Policy: Standard
Status: Failed
- Policy installation failed on gateway. If the problem persists contact Check Point support (Error code: 0-2000178).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remove the regex and things function as expected.

Is there a strict regex format necessary for constructing these??

Either try this regex: .*opendns\.com.*

or this without regex: *opendns.com

Tried both those and doesn't match.

Try this format:

(.*\.|)opendns.com

This allows matching of any text in the third, fourth, fifth etc level of the name like:

www.opendns.com

www.us.opendns.com

You can refer the sk121802, you may have to change the url "[\w:\/\/][\w][-]opendns\.com" and use

"[\w:\/\/][\w][\-]opendns\.com" for this to work.

@Jason, Thanks for the format.
