Google translator to bypass proxy filtering

[Julien LONGHI]

Hello,

It is possible to bypass the access policy settings of a Cisco WSA when google translator is used to translate the content of a web site.

The URL of the web site to translate is entered in the text box and the web page is displayed inside the google web page.

Is there a way to block this usage but only for the web site translation and not text translation.

I tried to use regex syntax in a black list but it is not working.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Julien.

Hi Julien,

i succesfully blocked web site translation with the following regex:

translate\.googleusercontent\.com/.*(http|https).*[a-zA-Z0-9]

be careful because this will block every web page translation, not just those that you need to block by a policy. Be also aware that there are other web translation tools (e.g bing) and my regex blocks only google translate web page translations.

Hope this helps,
