Hi,

 

Let's say we have 2 firewall policies, 1st policy said that user AAA can access to Streaming websites only, other categories website all blocked. 2nd policy said that user AAA can access to free software download websites only, other categories website all blocked. So the question here is user AAA can access to free software download websites or not? because the firewall policy check is from top to bottom, if the 1st policy hit and deny the traffic for free software download, then will it go to 2nd policy?

No it's top down, 1st match. fwiw;  the  diag debug flow  cmd will show you want policyid is being match and the action. It's isn't like a try all policies until you get thru ;)
