Cisco Firewall :: 5520 - Blocking URL And Instant Messenger
May 11, 2011
Can we block websites and messenger on Cisco ASA 5520 running code 8.2 , we are looking to block facebook.com , yahoo.com , twitter.com , msn messenger, yahoo messenger, google talk and messenger. All Internet traffic from users are passing via the firewall and for 20 users on this site we do not have microsoft ISA or bluecoat.
I have an ASA 5505 and I setup a port with a PC connected to monitor the LAN interface. I see all the traffic from the LAN going out and traffic coming back in no problem. What I do not see the the AOL Instant Messenger traffic at all. I have WireShark on the PC and I filter for AIM traffic and I see nothing.
I am runninng a ASA5520 and ASDM 6.2, I have recenly noticed some MSN traffic on our network. Is there a ASDM policy that I can apply to kill all MSN and Yahoo traffic ? I am looking to block this chat traffic on our network.
I've configured a Cisco ASA5520, i can access to internet and other applications in my office but when i sent an email from inside to outside and vis-versa, i can't receive emails in both side
I am new at ASA 5520 and CSC module (version 6.3). I would like to know what configurations are possible for my network users if i use the CSC trend micro blocking using IP address or AD users, I know that i could select users/groups from the windows AD or select the IP addresses that i want to use for blocking or permit HTTP traffic (URL, etc).
My question is on the client side, how the CSC knows what AD users is the one that is requesting certain HTTP pages, or if i user a proxy server, i lose the IP/users options on the CSC??..or i could use authentication options on the proxy for example?.
I have been looking information about this but the manuals only explain the configuration options that i could configure on the CSC Trend Micro page, but it doesn't say which network environment i could use or need.
How to block LogMeIn and GoToMyPC? We are using an ASA 5520. We mainly want to prevent people coming into our network using those applications. Also, our helpdesk uses LogMeIn Rescue and would need to allow that for them.
My internet link is connected on Internet Router & below downwards Cisco ASA 5520 is connected.ASA is connected with core switch cisco 4510 on downwards. our web based mail [URL] is hosted outside.
Lets suppose ISP pool is 4.4.4.0/28.suppose owa server is Static natted on ASA with 4.4.4.4. my machine traffic is going to internet with same ISP with PAT on Cisco ASA & internet is working on my machine. if i want to access {URL} or ip base for mail access, its not working & also it is not pinging. i suppose to ASA is blocking for returning traffic.
is there any way to traffic will go via same Firewall & comeback on same firewall port?
I am looking for a solution to block smart devices from connecting to our network via VPN. Our current VPN solution is ASA5520 and we are using Cisco ACS for user authentication. We use Cisco VPN client only, no anyconnect or SSL VPN. Management is looking for a way we can stop smart devices from using VPN clients to connect and only allow laptops/desktops to connect. Any way we can do this via ACS or another method?
Will updating drivers with instant share devices neede... I do not have such a CD to insert?/ and it will not let me continue to install a new HP Printer/fax that I have... I have a lap top and table top computer, the lap top is wireless and am trying to get the desk top to be also so I can use the wireless aspect of the HP printer/ fax.
Basically i'm an employee of a Pro-Gaming team, and as a Job I stream games live, as well as upload game videos to youtube. I've been encountering a problem for a month or so now and had little success of fixing it, which is costing me quite a lot of money and viewers! Basically, I use a program called Xsplit to stream to a website called Twitch.tv (no-one else i've spoken to has the problem I have). I will randomly disconnect/reconnect instantaneously which puts my stream down for 5-10 seconds at a time, then goes back up again. Ultimately the viewing experience is ruined by this and I am on the verge of being replaced!The problem can occur either once a week or once every minute.. it just does it whenever it wants. I have 200mb/10mb internet so my upload should in theory not be an issue.
Things I have tried and done so far: - Replaced the Ethernet Cables. - Replaced the Routers. - Bought a Network Card to try as opposed to my Motherboard port. - Reformatted my computer and installed a different version of Windows 7 multiple times. - Spoken to Twitch.tv and Xsplit about their programs as well as used multiple versions of the Xsplit client. - Spoken to my ISP who say everything is fine.
I have my ethernet cable hooked up to a WNDR3400 router, and my internet connection will drop for an instant randomly (usually happens at least once every 5 minutes) it then instantly reconnects. The problem is that when i'm downloading stuff, the disconnection will cause the download to fail and i'll have to restart from the beginning (making larger files impossible to download). Also, I have an xbox in the same room connected to the router via wireless. It also has the same issues of dropping and reconnecting and that causes me to get kicked out of live.Interestingly enough, my laptop, connected to the internet via wireless does not experience this issue when used in (or outside of) the room.
The original goal was to block "Mumble/Murmur" (a voip app) traffic, which runs on TCP/UDP 64738, both inbound and outbound, except to a certain host (63.223.117.170).
However, when nothing I tried seemed to make a difference, just to troubleshoot, I decided to try blocking all inbound traffic. I first disconnected ethernet port 0/0 to ensure that it was cabled correctly and the outside interface went down when I did. That worked as expected, so I confirmed I had the right interface and it was cabled correctly.
I then applied a "any any deny ip" rule as the first element in the outside interface access_list, as you can see below. However, it appears to have had no real effect and the hit count is very low (it should be astronomical).

I have cisco ASA 5510 with ios version 7.07 & all users are browsing the internet via PAT through ASA. i want to block some sites/URLs like facebook, yahoo etc.
I set up a cisco 2811 to replace a netgear router at the office. I have nat set up and with ccp I added a firewall on the router using the basic firewall wizard. Just about everything works internet, receiving and sending emails on exchange from the pc. Issue I'm having noone can access the company email on their phone.Also theres a camera system that would be accessible to view from the live feed from outside the office and my boss can't access the camera. I port mapped all the custom applications and added new traffic rule from self -> outzone. It didn't work tried to add one from outzone -> self or inzone but i get a prompt stating it only accepts protocols tcp,udp, sip, h323, icmp and a few other I can't think of. I'm pulling out my hair trying to get this to work everything worked seamlessly on the netgear router and nothing was really defined just the inbound ip address of the applications and protocols that are allowed.
Lets say for reference purposes my ip addresses for internet is
internet 55.34.23.43 /24 email server 192.168.10.252 /24 web cam application 192.168.10.10 /24 8000 in 8001 out
I have ASA 5505 running 7.2.4, I want to prevent users accessing some web sites such as facebook , youtube and hotmail etc.
Which ASA 5505 IOS version should I use to block web access?
I don't want to isntall a dedicated filtering server ( websense etc) , I just want to block web sites statically on ASA 5505 via ASDM as I only have few sites to block.
know if ASA 5505 can do URL filtering, and what IOS is required ?
I have a Cisco ASA 5510. I have detected an infected workstation on my internal LAN which has caused my IP to be blacklisted by Barracuda Networks and other RBL. I have scanned and cleaned the workstation removing the spambot. I want to prevent all my internal workstations from sending SMTP traffic on Port 25 through my ASA 5510 device. I only need to allow my Exchange Server access to send out traffic on port 25. configure this setup using ASDM 5.0? I know it may be easier using CLI, but using the ASDM would really be preferred.
I am working on an ASA5505 and am trying to open the ftp port. I have a server (192.168.10.202) on the local LAN which is attempting to download antivirus updates from the net via ftp.

I purchased a SA520W for my company, and i have some probles for configuring firewall. I want to deny access to facebook, youtube and twitter but not for 4 hosts which needs this websites for work. I tried to configure content filtering > blocking URLs but with this solution, I deny acces for all users, So, I tried to make IP v4 rules :
The 4 hosts who may access to these websites are 192.168.50.124 to 127
Example : FROM Zone : LAN TO : WAN Service : Any Action: block always Source hosts : 192.168.50.32 to 192.168.50.123 destination hosts : 66.220.158.11 (one of the facebook's ip)
but it does not work. So, I am looking for an other solution, or maybe my rule is not correctly configured ?
networking but can understand with a bit of explanation.. I own a restaurant and provide free WiFi for my customers with a Cisco E2500, I am gettign bills that are through the roof, I contacted my ISP and was told users were accessing P2P downloads(uTorrent, etc.). How can I block these applications?
I am required to block the IP neworks used by approx 10 coutries. The issue is if using an ACL this works out to be about 18,000 lines, I have done all the summarization possible.. are there any other options? as the ASA 5505 crashes when implementing this many lines.
I have a 1921 k9 router that has several DHCP pools configured. Before implementing the firewall they were all working. After implementing it they stopped working. I messed around and got the routed port GE0/1 handing out IP addresses and left it alone. Somehow it quit handing out IP addresses yesterday.I dont know if its a quick fix or not (getting DHCP working on the interfaces) but if any article that will walk me through getting DHCP working on all of the interfaces.

I have an ASA 5505 running 8.4.I am only letting ICMP traffic in from the outside.As a test, I opened a couple of ports I need on the ASA.I cannot access these ports and I do not get a denied error in the log.
I contacted the ISP and they are not blocking these ports.I ran an online port scanner to check ports 1-100 as a test. They all came up as blocked on the port scanner. The only deny error I got on the ASA was for port 80.Is this normal behavior? If so, how do I get it to show all of the deny errors so I know the traffic is at least hitting the firewall?
data centre hosted system with 4 servers connected to a CISCO ASA5505, everything was working fine with 4x windows server 2003 machines but since pulling 2 out and replacing them with windows server 2008 machines i get a flood of the error below and it blocks communications back to the IP listed which is the domain controller so naturally this makes the 2 new servers unusable.
1: they are all connected to the inside VLAN directly via the ASA's switch ports. 2: the are all in the same 255.255.255.0 subnet including the ASA inside interface 3: removing the gateway on the affected machines makes no difference the ASA continues to block it which indicates whether or not the machines use the asa as a gateway its inspecting the traffic and blocking.

I have an SA520 that is being used as a front end firewall. Behind it I have an IP PBX. The VOIP provides are registered and I can make outgoing calls. However It appears that the SA520 is either blocking or not routing the calls. I have opened the ports recommended by both the IP PBX and the VOIP provider. What do I need to do to make incoming calls through the SA520?
We have a Cisco ASA 5510 with a CSC SSM 20 module installed. As of this morning a valid site (Public School System) is being blocked at my site. It says the site is of High risk. I have tried entering the site in the block list exceptions but it still comes up as a high risk site.
I have the following: redundant ASA5520s on v8.2(1)proxy server/web filter for blocking access to websites for staff/studentsusers who want to use SkypeCisco Catalyst 4507 corea dozen VLANs for staff/student/WiFi etcCisco core policy that routes 80/443 to transparent proxy on a WiFi VLAN Windows desktops have direct proxy settings in IE .Pretty much all outbound ports are closed with 80/443 and a handful of specifics for various things open. Because of this Skype attempts to use 80/443 which are sent to the proxy server but bnecause they're not HTTP/HTTPS they cannot be understood. Skype attitude is to open 1024-65535 which is just plain stupid!
There's no way to specify which port(s) Skype uses for outbound. I tried opening 33000-33099 which worked perfectly for 2-3 devices (Win laptop, iPad) but others failed all the time.I've seen people mention using an AIP-SSM module in the ASA for blocking Skype (and other things eg torrents). Is it possible to use this module to allow Skype eg on ports 1024-65535 whilst blocking any other application from using those ports?
I'm trying to configure a simple ACL to block smtp traffic from leaving my LAN -- basically prevent internal users from setting up internet email accounts in their email clients and sending through that smtp server. i want my Exchange server only to send smtp traffic. here's what i have:
-access-list 102 extended permit tcp host 10.10.1.29 eq smtp any eq smtp <===10.10.1.29 is Exchange
-access-list 102 extended deny tcp any eq smtp any eq smtp
-access-list 102 extended permit ip any any
-access-group 102 in interface inside
after i apply this ACL to the ASA, i am still able to send from my internet email address setup in Outlook using my "foreign" smtp server.
I have a LAN with several linux boxes (Fedora 17, both 32 and 64 bits), as well a a WInXP box. All of these are connected to the same switch, which is connected to the inside port of my PIX 515.
For a few sites (mozilla.org happens to be one of them), for http access, the tcp connection is established, but the "GET" request - or anything else for that matter - will not go through the PIX (from inside to wan). I have verified this by first, using wireshark to watch the packets being sent out from the client box, then by using the trace function in the PIX to see that the packets ARE arriving at the inside interface, but ARE NOT sent out of the wan interface.
This is for the linux boxes ONLY. When I do the same thing with my WinXP box, all works: in the PIX trace, I see the packets arrive at the inside interface, and leave the wan interace. And access to these sites are okay.
(What's a bit weird, although somewhat expected, when I connect my android phone to my LAN via WiFi, it too is unable to reach those sites - but then again, android is linux, right?)
In addition to the tracing, I have narrowed this problem down by connecting a linux box directly to my DSL router, then replacing the PIX with a simple router/gateway. Both of those solutions work.
Some background:
I have been using this PIX for about 10 years now, with the same configuration (except IP addresses). Only in the last several months has this problem started to show up.
I got this pix from a dead company at a really great price (free), so I'd like to keep it, and not have to spend money on something else. I don't have any support license, and have not been able to get any software upgrades. Here is its version info:
