On version 7.0.6-7.2.4.
A YouTube video will be blocked if action is set to block in either FortiGuard category or YouTube-channel filter.
To prioritize an action under the Youtube Channel filter over the FortiGuard category's action, the following features are recommended under the YouTube-channel-filter config.
- YouTube API key.
- Set override-category enable.
Use case scenario :
YouTube-channel-filter for specific channels with Action allow.
FortiGuard category with action block for the rest of the videos of that category.
config videofilter youtube-key
edit 1
set key <enter the key here>
next
end
config videofilter youtube-channel-filter
edit 1
set name "Bypass channel" <- Video filter profile name.
set default-action block
config entries
edit 1
set action allow
set channel-id "channel ID"
next
end
set override-category enable
set log enable
next
end
From 7.2.5 & 7.4.0 onwards :
From 7.2.5/7.4.0 onwards video filtering is done in a multi-tiered approach and if a YouTube channel filter is configured it will be prioritized over the category filter.
- If a video matches a YouTube channel ID configured under the YouTube channel filter, it will be blocked or allowed depending upon the action configured under the YouTube channel filter.
- If a video does not match the YouTube channel ID configured under the YouTube channel filter, FortiGate will check the category filter to find a match and block/allow/monitor the traffic as per the action set under that category.
- If no category matches or the FortiGuard category option is disabled, the default action in the video filter profile will be applicable.
Additional notes :
The option default-action is moved from config video filter youtube-channel-filter to config videofilter profile.
The option override-category is being removed from the config on 7.2.5 onwards.
config videofilter youtube-channel-filter
edit 1
set name "test"
set default-action <- Removed already and moved to config videofilter profile.
set override-category enable/disable <- Removed.
