Blocking URL

geme — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 13:49:13 GMT

We have a public facing web application. Now we wanted to block a URL for Admin portal which is represented as https://testdomain.com/apps/admin on checkpoint exceptional to other services. Is it possible to do that? Any help is appreciated

You can try using URL Filtering blade by defining it a as custom URL and adding it and the web server to the rulebase in the Services and Applications column

@Tal_Paz-Fridman thanks for the reply. We have tried this way but it didn't work out.

If you use RegEx the answer would be ^http:\/\/testdomain\.com\/apps\/admin\/$

This is what I always do and works 100%. So say you want to block www.casino.com site, I just add *casino* and call it a day. I know that may not be great option if you want to allow say certain sub domains or other domains that have word casino in it, but if you dont, then you are good to go.

Have you configured HTTPS Inspection?
Without that, you will not be able to block access to a specific URL (though you could block all access to testdomain.com without).
