QUESTION Hardware / server firewall and components?

[vasitellapahki]

It is probably detecting your components as a xss injection.

Do you have script tags ?

I have never seen this kind of filter usually its mod_sec that blocks these, i have never seen a url redirect.

It is hard to legitimately avoid these filters, if it is indeed mod_sec sometimes you can whitelist stuff.

also there are ways to turn it off entirely for your ip, described elsewhere.

My bad, I wrote server firewall as subject. Sorry. [Edited post subject.]
If I understood their answer correctly, it's a hardware firewall that's blocking, not their Apache setup. But now I'm not 100% certain. I don't know that much about the tech stuff. Of course, their helpdesk personnel are hasty to blame the cms for everything.

Site is done locally, then uploaded to server.
All the components done locally work but now when it's running on their server they can not be saved after editing nor can I save new components (not even with just plain text).
Whenever I try to save a component it redirects me to [i]http://domain.fi/cgi-sys/blocked?event=81.***.***.**

Otherwise, the site is (so far) running as expected. Pages, posts (with News Manager), no problem adding new ones or editing old ones.
