Https://www.facebook.com blocking in the juniper firewall (ssg350m)

Setup a proxy server and black list facebook.com that is the easiest way. Route all users to the proxy server and set premissions that does not let them change the proxy settings.

Have you got the solution ? If you already have got please, spare few moments and send me the solution by mail at [email protected].

Thanks.

firewall, go through firewall or internet security settings and facebook should show up on a list. if you are a a job, some jobs put a firewall block on facebook. try https//www.facebook.com. only thing different is the httpS. very important.

Most probably the access to facebook is blocked from your windows or network firewall.
The administrator of the PC or network has to remove the RULE from firewall(s) that deny access to facebook site.

If above is not possible (e.g. in case it was made on purpose by the administrator, e.t.c.):
Alternative you can try to connect to facebook through proxies that can bypass your firewall.
Below you can see some of these proxies. Just go there, type www.facebook.com in the URL box and press go. Whala!!!

Isn’t the internet great?

Well the way that these filters work is that they look for the EXACT address: www.facebook.com. To fix this you’ll want to add https://www.facebook.com and http://www.facebook.com. This will help the filter to see all combinations and block them all.

Let me know how this turns out!

Remember, you need to configure DNS on the ScreenOS device before the address book items can resolve the DNS to an IP address. In this example, we assume the hostname is SSG5, the domain name is abc.com, the primary DNS is 1.1.1.1, and the secondary DNS is 1.1.1.2
Click Network > DNS Host Name: SSG5 Domain Name: abc.com Primary DNS Server: 1.1.1.1 Secondary DNS Server: 1.1.1.2 Click Apply Click Objects > Addresses > List Select Untrust Click New Address Name: www.facebook.com Click domain name, and enter www.facebook.com Zone: Untrust Click OK
Click Objects > Addresses > Group Zone: Untrust Click New Group Name: Facebook Move www.facebook.com from Available Members to Group Members by clicking the << button Click OK
Click Policies Select From Trust to Untrust, then click New Source Address: Click Address Book, and select ANY Destination Address: Click Address Book, and select facebook Service: ANY Action: DENY Click OK
hope this helps you

Just upgrade to the IPS (instrusion prevention subscription) for your 2040 and check Prevent ALL for HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW (LOW blocks Facebook like a champ). You'll find some other services blocked as well such as Terminal Services, but you can filter individual LOW priority attacks to allow those connections in (I recommend VPN for Terminal services anyway).

I actually was looking for a way to OPEN connections to Facebook while preventing LOW priority attacks and found your post.

use S/N as username and password

You can actually null the applications call home ip address this will filter it entirely.
