## HTTPS Inspection Probe Bypass on R80.20, should I enable?

Hello, I´m using R80.20 Take 33, when I enable the flag enhanced\_ssl\_inspection some sites don´t open in browsers like chrome (version 58 or 71)... example: [www.uol.com,](http://www.uol.com,/) [www.bitcointrade.com.br](http://www.bitcointrade.com.br/)...etc... any tips or sugestions?

Thank you.

Alessandro

Hi Alessandro

Is it SNI domains your are trying to access?

Did you try to analyze and inspect domains via https://www.ssllab.com? It will show you certicate type and which encryption is enabled.

I had to enable some encryption protocol levels when using probe bypass.

Best regards

Kim

The behaviour has been changed, please look at sk104717:

**Important:**

- In R80.10, before Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R80.10 Take 189, the probing feature is set, by default, to Fail Open.
- From Take 189, the default behavior is changed to Fail Close.
- You can return to the behavior as it was before Take 189, by setting bypass\_on\_enhanced\_ssl\_inspection 1

**To set the default to Fail Open:**

1. Run: fw ctl set int bypass\_on\_enhanced\_ssl\_inspection 1
2. In $FWDIR/modules/fwkern.conf, add this line: bypass\_on\_enhanced\_ssl\_inspection=1

**The probing feature may fail in the following scenarios (and therefore it is not recommended):**

- Server requires an SNI extension in the SSL "Client hello" packet.
- Missing cipher - The Security Gateway does not support any of the server allowed ciphers.
- The server presents an incorrect certificate when SNI is not provided

**To disable probing (Recommended):**

1. Run: fw ctl set int enhanced\_ssl\_inspection 0
2. In $FWDIR/modules/fwkern.conf, add this line: enhanced\_ssl\_inspection=0
