Hi All,

 

My FG is setup to block opera browser. It works for some pages (blocked app info) and not working for other (for example we can open cnn.com and FG isn't recognizing it it as a opera browser. It sees https.browser).

 

Regards

Hi!
Have you tried HTTP.BROWSER.Opera.Mobile  and HTTP.BROWSER.Opera signatures? I'll add here some other forums, where you could find help:
