Web Filter v 6.3.2
The company wants Entertainment > MP3 and Audio Download Services blocked, but permit all Apple services (itunes.com, apple.com, app store...)
So I have protocol itunes permit, MP3 and Audio Download Services blocked and the the following re-categorized to finally get App Store to work.
Testlogserver showed me all the url/ip that was being blocked for App Store along with others that I will probably have to do more testlogserver to find out...
https://96.6.98.217:443/
https://23.11.82.217:443/
https://23.12.130.217:443/
https://23.3.18.217:443/
http://apple.com
http://itunes.com
http://mzstatic.com
^https://17\. (this is for the whole 17.x.x.x, which I found online)
So I looked up the addresses that App Store uses, it belongs to Akamai. "The company (Akamai) operates a network of servers around the world and rents space on these servers to customers who want their websites to work faster by distributing content from locations close to the user. When a user navigates to a website, such as Whitehouse.gov, Bing, Facebook, or Twitter, their browser is redirected to one of Akamai’s copies of this website, almost entirely invisible to the vast majority of its users. However, since SSL is designed to highlight hidden intermediaries, Akamai has struggled to make secure web pages work with their service, and an attempt to connect to a popular website over HTTPS will often reveal Akamai."
App Store uses Akamai. I want to open up the range 23.0.0.0 - 23.15.255.255
96.6.0.0 - 96.7.255.255. How do I write up the regular expression to open up that range in websense?
