Zenarmor - App Control - Block Youtube comment

[RFC 6592]

Hi

I've recently installed Zenarmor on OPNsense to do some testing on the application control functions of it and have a question about the "Youtube Comment" option with regards to what is specifically allows/blocks?

I blocked as per the attached screenshot and I had assumed that it would prevent the comments section of youtube videos from being displayed but this does not appear to be the case with my testing.

If i also block Youtube and refresh the page with ctrl + F5 then the page does not load and i can see that its blocked in the Live Sessions Explorer so i know that the blocking is working in that instance.

So should that option block Youtube comments or does it block something else?

Thanks


Im testing it via a Debian 10 host running Firefox v 91.6

Zenarmor versions:
Engine Version: 1.10.1
UI version: 22.1.29
Database version: 1.10.22011611

OPNsense version: 22.1.2_1-amd64

Hi,

It should be blocked to add comments to the video. I'm going to look into it.

thanks for the clarification.

I can confirm that i can both view and add comments to youtube videos while the Youtube Comment option is blocked in App Controls under the default policy

Hi @sy

Did you have a chance to look at this? Is there any steps you would like me to perform to help test/troubleshoot? Do you need me to create a bug report?


Thanks

I've also found the same thing: the "Youtube Comment" app control doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm using:

Zenarmor Engine Version: 1.11.2
Zenarmor DB Version: 1.11.22050910
OPNsense 22.1.8_1-amd64
