Hello,

You need to do the following to get the job done.

1. In the policy elements you have to make a client adress set. To determine who will be affected with the restriction
2. check out the content groups to see what type of content belongs to what name (remember the group names you want to block)
3. go to acces policy, site and content rules.
4. create new rule with following settings
name: (you name it)
destinations: all destinations (most common)
schedule: take a pick
action: Allowed (better, if you make new content group it will not be automaticly open)
applies to: take a pick ( use the clients adresses or groups)
HTTP content: select the content groups you want to pass trough.
5. This does filter the http content
6. go to access policy, protocol rules
7. create new rule with following settings
name: (you name it)
Action: Allow (better, if you make new protocol definitions it will not be automaticly open)
protocol: select only the http, https, https server (if you want to allow only browsing websites)
Schedule: take a pick
applies to: same setting as in the site and content rule
8. this will do the trick

success
Every morning I hop in my hot air ballon and see where i end up working.
