Block a list of URL address in your network with Checkpoint GAIA :-
Have you ever faced a situation of blocking particular URL or group of URL’s in your network ? If yes, then this tutorial is completely for you. :-)
Checkpoint comes with Application & URL filtering software blade for this job but today i am going to show you how to block a list of URL address in your network with IPS software blade.
You have to understand the basic DNS operations, When user is trying to open a Website then first it’s communicating with a Local DNS server for DNS query then Local DNS server is forwarding this request to particular webserver.

actually what actually we are going to do here is blocking DNS request on Local network.
To do so, Open Smart Dashboard on your console PC. Navigate to IPS > Protections > By Type > Application Control > in the right-pane search for Domain Black List and double click on it .

Configuring Proxy ARP for Manual NAT

Configuring Proxy ARP for Manual NAT Symptoms After creating a Manual Static NAT rule, Security Gateway does not answer the ARP Requests for the Static NATed IP address that was configured in the Manual NAT rule. Security Gateway replies to ARP requests with a wrong MAC address, mostly for the NAT traffic.  Introduction Let us consider the following scenario: Two networks ( Network_A  and  Network_B ) are separated by a Security Gateway (single Security Gateway or ClusterXL). On each network, there is a host ( Host_A  on  Network_A ,  Host_B  on  Network_B ). Let us assume, that  Network_A  represents the  Internal  network, and  Network_B  represents the  External  network. According to the existing standards, when  Host_B  needs to send data to  Host_A , an ARP Request for the MAC address of  Host_A  will be sent by  Host_B  to  Network...
