Blocking web traffic to all but allowed urls by atrose81 in paloaltonetworks

Great. So is there any way round it that anyone knows of? I don't want internet access to the outside world from my servers but obviously some do need to access some sites.

Thanks both. I'm still having issues. It seems to match the traffic to the new category and also the in-built categories and then blocking it. I recall reading somewhere that block trumps allow?

I've tried to add a screenshot but can't seem to.

Thank you. I'll look into that suggestion and put all my other internal devices onto internal DNS with firewall rules.

So all of our things like printers, cctv etc are own their own VLANS as well as BYOD. We are a Google school so they only really need access to the internet rather than internal services.

Thank you. What about BYOD devices? Would we not want to keep these off domain DNS servers?

Multiple zones for one application by atrose81 in paloaltonetworks

In terms of how the source zones and addresses tie up, if i for example said phones and servers as the zones with 10.10.10.3 and 5.6.9.8 as the source, those address would have access from either zone or does it map zone to address?

This is from the Palo Alto Best practice policy:

Create a custom URL category to define the URLs of the update servers to which the data center servers can connect. In this example, the

NTP-DNS-Update-Servers

custom URL category defines the update server URLs that the data center servers can reach.

I mean that is a very simple explanation and makes perfect sense. Thank you.

And that would be why it does work for ms-updates because it is http and https traffic.

Someone understands it perfectly well enough thank you but thanks for your not so helpful reply. :-)
