    Probably same as any other firewalls. I would create a new policy for HTTP/HTTPS and specify the IP as the destination address and "accept" action, then don't apply the web filtering profile. And then place/move it one above the existing web filtering policy.

    You probably meant a "source IP" to exempt. Then put it in the source address on the new policy.
