Verifying the *Default Policy

You can verify that the *Default Policy is active by testing the each default Web filter
category using a computer with an IP address that is within the assigned IP address
range you specified in Users and Hosts > Hosts and that is on the same LAN as the
SonicWALL CSM. For each *Default Policy Web filter category, visit a well-known Web
site in that category. If the SonicWALL CSM has been correctly configured, you will see a
page indicating that the site has been blocked by policy.

To test the Adult Content filter, visit a well-known Web site in that category, for
example, <www.playboy.com>.

To test the Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco filter, visit a well-known Web site in that
category, for example, <www.coors.com>.

To test the Racism/Hate/Violence/Weapons filter, visit a well-known Web site in that
category, for example, <www.winchester.com>.

If the SonicWALL CSM has been correctly configured, for each Web site you test, you will
see the message, “This site has been blocked by policy.”
