F-secure blocking DNS

Hi!

On what basis F-secure Client security and Server Security blocks DNS searches?

I mean I've spent couple of hours banging my head on the wall, trying to figure out why www.paypal.com does not resolve in our company.

After I disabled f-secure (net stop fsgkhs) on client computers and dns servers, the searches started working. How do I disable DNS blocking on f-secure products? I mean this is idiotic.

Another site I came across that was dns-blocked by f-secure was www.kryptex.org

Maybe F-Secure Business with certain place about this...

but as potential workarounds -> maybe possible to use F-Secure SAS:

https://www.f-secure.com/en/web/labs_global/inform-us

OR their Support-request (for Business solutions):

https://www.f-secure.com/en/web/business_global/support/support-request

// as quote from their website:

F-Secure's Business Support is available 24/7. It is an easy, reliable and punctual service ready to solve all your queries.

sounds as -> possible to ask them about anything.

if I only had f-secure support email address, I'd report false positive....

Such point maybe discussed (about potential configure-steps) there:

https://community.f-secure.com/t5/Business/The-FSGKSH-service-blocking-DNS/m-p/100217

// by the way -> probably it was known for you. and main ask - on what basis F-Secure do this filtering.

so, sorry for my replies.

Hello,

Sorry for my reply. I'm only F-Secure user (their home solutions).

By blocking DNS -> did you mean that page is not visible with any of supported browsers (by F-Secure);

Because with HTTPS and Microsoft Edge (or disabled F-Secure extension) -> page is not loaded (not clearly visible that website is blocked by F-Secure).

And, for example, with F-Secure home solution -> your second URL is harfmul-rated (under F-Secure Security Cloud).

OR your situation completely based on their Firewall deisgn?

Thanks!
