    Hello,

     

    You can try with webfilter static URL.

     

    Simply create a Static URL entry to block "www.linkedin.com/jobs/

    Note: You must also apply SSL deep-inspection to the policy, otherwise FGT cannot identify the full URL ("/jobs/"   part) because it is encrypted. It will not work with certificate-inspection  only.

    Thank you for your response.

    Is there any other way to block ("www.linkedin.com/jobs/") such URLs? Just for knowledge!!
