Force all Internet traffice through BPS?

I've been looking around, but I haven't been able to nail this down completely.  I'm running BPS 4.1.4.3 on Exchange 2003.

 

How can I force all Internet traffic to go through BPS?  How can I disable WiFi/BIS from BPS?

 

If I use Opera, for example, I can't access my internal applications and blocked sites are still accessible.

 

If I use the BlackBerry browser I can access my internal applications and blocked sites are blocked like they should be.

 

This has to be possible; how do I do it?

 

Thanks!

Re: Force all Internet traffice through BPS?

Hmm, RTFM?  I guess I was too terse in my original post...

 

 

I've already applied the usual suspects:

1. Device-Only Items > Enable WAP Config = False.
2. Browser Policy Group > MDS Browser Title = <company name> Internet .
3. Browser Policy Group > Allow IBS Browser = False.
4. Browser Policy Group > MDS Browser Use Separate Icon = True.
5. Service Exclusivity policy group> Allow Other Browser services = False.

 

It seems the actual issue is that Opera Mini (my test application) uses Opera's proxy servers so if access to the proxy is allowed out of your network, then you can browse anything yet can never access your internal applications.  To verify this, I blocked opera-mini.net in OpenDNS for my network and Opera stopped working.

 

Too bad Opera doesn't give you any options; their browser is light years ahead of the built in browser.
