Dynamic content filtering is now activated for all web traffic from lan_net to all-nets and the user
is able to propose reclassification of blocked sites. Validate the functionality by following these
steps:

On a workstation on the lan_net network, launch a standard web browser.
2.
Try to browse to a search site, for example www.google.com.
3.
If everything is configured correctly, the web browser will present a block page where a
dropdown list containing all available categories is included.

The user is now able to select a more proper category and propose a reclassification.
Event Messages
Dynamic WCF utilizes the request_url log event message to log its activities. The parameters of
this event message will contain information on whether the request was allowed or blocked, and
what categories the web site was classified as. Also, the message includes parameters specifying
if audit mode or a restricted site notice were in effect.
Note: Enabling request_url message generation
The request_url event message will only be generated if event message generation has
been enabled in the "parent" IP rule.
Enabling Dynamic WCF with an IP Policy
Dynamic WCF can be enabled on a particular traffic flow by enabling the option on an IP Policy
object instead of through an ALG. This provides a more direct method of activation which can be
combined with the other options available in an IP policy such as traffic shaping or anti-virus
scanning.
IP policies are described further in Section 3.6.7, “IP Policies”.

purpose of each category.

pornography. Exceptions to this are web sites that contain information relating to sexuality and
sexual health, which may be classified under the Health Sites Category (21).
