Next-Gen Firewalls

Hello,
I’m practicing with Next-Gen Firewall lab.
Everything work fine, I can register zenarmor account and firewall and I can add a site to a blocklist.
I can also modify the web control policy to moderate and high control, to block adult sites like playboy.com.
Even If I have fully syncronized the policy with the firewall, the sites are always allowed.
For this, I can’t complete the exercise, because I can’t reply to this question:

4. What is the Reason provided for the restricted access to playboy.com?

Someone could kindly help me please?

ps: the hint for the following question is wrong:

Thank you.

I can confirm that Web Controls are not working. This all worded great in development. We will look into why this feature is not working as it did.

Just tested this again and it seemed to work as expected.

Given the external dependencies on Zenarmor - something we generally try to avoid when building labs - it’s possible that this may become a problem again in the future. If so, we will look into substituting this lab for a more conventional firewall lab.

Regarding the Hint, it looks like Zenarmor is reporting different answers from registration to registration. We’ll update that accordingly.

This lab will remain unlisted for the time being.

Is there a fix to the playboy[.]com question? Zenarmor does not allow it to be blocked, as I assume it should be blocked by category, without a premium subscription. Just blocking the site manually does not generate the answer.

Quick update, I was able to guess the answer using blurry screenshots of zenarmor pics I found on the internet. It would be nice if this module came with a disclaimer or the question was changed to something that is answerable.

Thanks for the heads up. Testing the lab now to see if we can salvage this question.
