Hello my friends.

 

This is my first post and I hope it will useful for you all.

 

One of the tricky things that I have to do with my Fortigate 80E is to enable access to Twitter, that is the only Social Network that is able to visit in my company.

 

Despite that Twitter was allowed in Application Control and the URL twitter.com was allowed in the web filter, it is nto enough to assure that the users can enjoy Twitter completly. I had to allow others URL associated to the functionality of Twitter in cellphones and the charge of the images and videos.

 

The URLs that you have to allow to completly use Twitter are follow:

[ul]
  • twitter.com
  • api.twitter.com
  • abs.twimg.com
  • pbs.twimg.com
  • video.twimg.com[/ul]

    I hope that this information is useful to this community.

    Any advice or recommendation is welcome. 

     

    Regards.
