#PEERGUARDIAN SUBSCRIPTION BYPASS LICENSE#

You can use the Feature Key Compliance dialog box in Policy Manager to disable WebBlocker. If you did not change the setting to Allowed before the subscription expired, all HTTP traffic is denied.

#PEERGUARDIAN SUBSCRIPTION BYPASS LICENSE#

If you use a lower version of Policy Manager, you cannot change the license bypass setting after the subscription expires.

Fireware v12.2.x and lower - You must use Policy Manager v12.3 or higher to change the license bypass setting after the WebBlocker subscription expires.

To allow your users access to all websites, change the setting to Allowed.

Fireware v12.3 and higher - You can change the license bypass setting for a WebBlocker action after your WebBlocker subscription expires.

Whether you can change this setting after expiration depends on the Fireware version installed on the Firebox:

By default, the license bypass setting denies access to all websites when your subscription is expired. The license bypass setting in a WebBlocker action controls whether users on your network can get access to websites if WebBlocker is enabled and the WebBlocker security subscription is expired. This appears to the Firebox as a server timeout. When your subscription expires, WebBlocker no longer contacts the WebBlocker server to look up website categories. If your configuration uses WebBlocker, you must renew or disable the WebBlocker subscription as soon as it expires to prevent a possible interruption to web browsing.

For information on what happens when a WebBlocker subscription expires on a cloud-managed Firebox, go to About Firebox WatchGuard Cloud Licenses. This topic covers WebBlocker subscription expiration on locally-managed Fireboxes. About WebBlocker Subscription Services Expiration
