Hi All,

 

I need to enable access to selected websites across the internet (general internet browsing is blocked).

What will be the most secure approach,  Static URL Filter or FQDN object?

 

The Best Practices document states "Avoid FQDN addresses if possible, unless they are internal. It can cause a performance impact on DNS queries and security impact from DNS spoofing. ", is it also a valid risk when using Static URL?

 

Thank you.
