| Description | This article describes how to allow a website from a blocked FortiGuard Category. |
| Scope | FortiOS. |
| Solution |
The category 'Alcohol' is set to 'Block': beerforbusiness.ca is allowed to access.
Overriding the website to a local category can be used to allow the website from a blocked category.
The action of the local category is set to 'Allow'.
The websites of the 'Alcohol' category are blocked except 'beerforbusiness.ca'.
Overriding the website to an allowed FortiGuard category does not work for allowing the website from a blocked category. The website is still blocked by its original category.
For instance, beerforbusiness.ca is overridden to 'News and Media' which is set to 'Allow'.
The blocked page will be shown on the test PC when accessing beerforbusiness.ca. It is blocked by the Category 'Alcohol'.
Configuring a static URL to allow the website from a blocked category does not work for allowing the website. The website is still blocked by its original category.
