Allow certain VIMEO channels by using web-filter rules while blocking all "Media and Download" category.

Solution


In the URL Filter profile, configure the following data as "WILDCARD" and "EXEMPT", as illustrated below:

 'vimeo.com/channels/examplechannel'          -> Where 'examplechannel = to the actual VIMEO channel to be allowed'.
'player.vimeo.com'
'vimeocdn.com'
'api.vimeo.com'

Enable Deep Inspection in the policy and make sure that the FortiGate's certificate is installed in the PC.
