Hi, i've already exempted the url hsselite.com from webfiltering as in the attachment image.

 

i've tried with both regular expression with "api.hsselite.com" and wit wildcard "*hsselite.com", but i'm recieving this alert email from fortigate:

 

Message meets Alert condition

Now i don't really know if i've setup a wrong config.

Please is everyone that can support and tell me why fortigate is blocking this website?

Thank you very much for support.

    You put the URLs in a wrong place. You need to enable "URL Filter" then put those URLs in there. Not at "Content Filter", which looks inside of the page.
