Overview

This article addresses an issue where users access the http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u= URL, and whatever URL they parse there, will bypass the filtering policies in GFI WebMonitor.

Root Cause

The URL before-mentioned is Google Mobilizer, which serves the modified web sites to the client browser directly. Therefore, traffic is seen as being directly from Google, and it is not blocked on a category basis or specific URLs.

Resolution 

1. Open the GFI WebMonitor Management Console.
2. Click the Manage drop-down and select Policies.
3. Click on the Blacklist tab and then click Edit.
4. Add the following URL www.google.com/gwt/* to the Website section.
5. Click the Save button to apply the changes.
