Botnet Filter

The Botnet Filter feature enables you to block connections to or from Botnet commands, control servers, and create custom Botnet lists. It also allows you to set up a custom message to send when you block a website or to enable dynamic Botnet HTTP authentication. On this page, you will find information icons that you can hover over for a screen tip. For more information refer to SonicOS 8 Security Services Administration Guide.

Two settings are particularly important when setting the options for Botnet Filter.

1. Navigate to Policy | Security Services | Botnet Filter
2. Under the Settings tab enable the option to Block connections to/from Botnet Command and Control Servers and Enable Logging.
