What you don’t see is the TMG block page when the site is blocked, but the same is true for Websense or any other third-party URL filtering solution. You also get more accurate enforcement of URL filtering policies with HTTPS inspection enabled because TMG has access to the full URL.

Thanks for the information. I couldn’t resist adding a shameless plug here for WebSpy Vantage as it is a great alternative reporting solution that runs fine on Server 2008 R2. Here’s an article explaining how to set it up:

Also checkout my video that outlines the major advantages of using WebSpy Vantage with TMG here:

Thanks again. Your blog is a great source of information for ISA & TMG. Keep up the good work!

Cheers!
Scott.

As much as I hate Websense they do a lot of things right when it comes to the actually filtering of web sites.

I was ready to ditch Websense and go to TMG (its a way way cheaper solution in comparison to Websense). One problem though HTTPS Inspection is required to block HTTPS websites. Let me explain. If I want to take advantage of URL filtering in TGM in terms of blocking HTTPS sites HTTPS Inspection must be on. The problem is that Firefox does not inherit the Windows CA root for our enterprise. So deploying this is an IE only thing.

On the other hand I can block any HTTPS in Websense as long as it falls into a blocked category.

I really wished TGM would do this.
