Consider that I have web filtering on a policy for my guest wifi users to block gambling sites. It works in that if I visit Draft Kings, I get served the SSL error, click advanced and continue on my browser and get served the "Fortinet has blocked this page". I browse any non-blocked categories just fine. I am wondering:What is the proper way to solve this for guest wifi? Even if I was willing to buy a Digicert certificate, what do I register when the URL is the site I'm visiting?A workaround I thought about: is there a way to possibly serve that blocked page as HTTP so it won't give that cert issue?

It works in that if I visit Draft Kings, I get served the SSL error, click advanced and continue on my browser and get served the "Fortinet has blocked this page". I browse any non-blocked categories just fine.

I am wondering:
