Set Up a Content Filter for VPN-to-WAN Traffic

IAM Group Policy allows administrator to define custom firewall filter rules. The Group Policy can be applied to VPN accounts and filter the traffics in the VPN-to-WAN direction. The following example demonstrates how to set up a group policy that utilizes the IAM Firewall policy (e.g., blocking Facebook) in the VPN-to-WAN direction.

1. Go to IAM / IAM Policies / Group Policies page, click Add to create a Group policy as follows:

a. Enter the Name of the policy profile.

b. At Firewall Policies interface, select Customize group firewall filters.

c. At Content Filters, click Add to apply content filter and choose Block to restrict user's Internet access.

d. Click “Apply” to save the profile.
