    try www.acer.* Wilcard, allowed under URL Filter. If you are desperate to get it working now, use profile overides.

    Only action "exempt" will prevent the URL from being subject to other security profiles (e.g. Fortiguard categories).

     

    If you are using security certificate only inspection, you may need to check the CN and alt name names on the site's security certification to see what other domains you may need to exempt.
