Is there a way that I can create an Allowed URL list to restrict users to ONLY have access to the websites that are on the list and nothing else?


Is there a way that I can create an Allowed URL list to restrict users to ONLY have access to the websites that are on the list and nothing else?

Without using a Proxy? Enable DNS with a fake IP, and use a Host file:

Which Browser is in use?


I think that this will break my AD

I think that this will break my AD


Can also restrict it via the allowlist / blocklist within the chromium browser i believe

Thank you so much

Unfortunately, the article does not explain, how can add the URL’s in the allow list and prevent all the other. I can add the allowed URL’s to the URLAllowlist, but it still does not prevent me from going to any other websites.


You can also use URLBlockList and enter * so everything should be blocked except from what you put on the allow list


Yeah, you’d think that its logical, but it does not work.

URLAllowlist: [“.graphicpkg.com graphicpkg.com”,“.idaptive.app idaptive.app”]

URLBlocklist: *

And, if I do the following for the URLBlocklist: [“*”], it blocks everything, even what’s in the URLAllowlist


It should work, see the official docs:

chromeenterprise.google/policies/#URLAllowlist

Have used it myself and was able to get it to work but i do remember the syntax being a little fiddly


Yes, understand that it should work, but its not for now.

Yeah, not sure…. no go so far, no matter how I slide and dice it.

Wonder if its a bug in 11.08


You can use @member method but instead, configure a fake proxy and add the websites you want to allow as exceptions


@member let me help you with this. You can configure this URL list in 11.08.. Which 11.08. you are using, then I can test it on my side. Can you send me the list of URLs you want to allow? Then I can create you a ready-to-use IGEL profile you can import and I can test it before.


11.08.330

Allow: google.com google.com and cnn.com cnn.com for example only and disallow everything else.

gpi.my.idaptive.app/my?customerId=AAU0618

is the URL that I want to allow

and one more for testing, like google.com google.com


@member here is a IGEL profile, which you can import directly to your UMS server. Tested in my test environment with a 11.08.330 client, it worked on my side. The client could only access the three sites/domains.


Hello, you can create proxy.pac file dedicated to igel : proxy-igel.pac and only allow proxy for allowed urls, for all others : direct and block them on the network firewall, or if no proxy/firewall do the other way : allowed urls direct, restricted urls through non existing proxy : `function FindProxyForURL(url, host)`

{

if ((isPlainHostName(host) ||

dnsDomainIs(host, “.company.com company.com“)) &&

!localHostOrDomainIs(host, “http://www.company.com www.company.com“) &&

!localHostOrDoaminIs(host, “http://home.company.com home.company.com“))

return “DIRECT”;

else

return “PROXY proxy:80”;

}
