Question

allow website that is in blocked category

We have web filtering set up for our general users using Fortigate 300C web filtering.  We block by category, but I need to allow 1 site that is being blocked.  In the web filter profile, I enabled URL Filter and added the website, but it still says it is being blocked.  I know it is probably simple, but I cannot find anything telling me how to do this.

 

Thanks.

    I figured it out, with the help from this post:  https://forum.fortinet.com/tm.aspx?m=112673

     

    Guess, I didn't search the forums enough, didn't realize it was only showing posts from the last 30 days.

     

    Just FYI -

    In security profiles, under Advanced, then Web Rating Overrides, I created a new custom category, added the website(s) to that category, then in Web Filter Profile, I set that custom category to allow.  Easy, now that I found out how to do it.

      Hi bry9099, I'm glad you were able to figure it out!

       

      FYI, there is also a Cookbook recipe (http://cookbook.fortinet.com/web-rating-overrides/) and video (http://cookbook.fortinet.com/web-rating-overrides-video/) about changing a websites category.
