Configure remote filtering to ignore FTP or HTTPS traffic
Administrator Help | Web Filter & Security | Version 8.3.x
You can configure remote filtering software to ignore FTP traffic, HTTPS traffic, or both. HTTP traffic is always monitored.
If you have multiple Remote Filtering Servers, repeat these steps for each instance.
1.
Navigate to the bin directory (C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security\bin or /opt/Websense/bin/, by default) on the Remote Filtering Server machine.
2.
Open the securewispproxy.ini file in a text editor.
3.
To have this Remote Filtering Server instance ignore FTP traffic, add the following line to the file:
FilterFTP=0
If you want to later turn FTP management back on, change the parameter value from "0" to "1".
4.
To have this Remote Filtering Server instance ignore HTTPS traffic, add the following line to the file:
FilterHTTPS=0
If you want to later turn HTTPS management back on, change the parameter value from "0" to "1".
5.
Save and close the file.
6.
Restart the Remote Filtering Server service or daemon.
