Description This article describes how to resolve an issue where users cannot access certain websites and their traffic is denied because of an explicit proxy policy, even when a deep inspection SSL profile has been enabled on one of the explicit proxy policies.
Scope SWG SSO.
Solution

Some websites are denied with a 'Traffic denied because of explicit proxy policy' message because the traffic has triggered the 'Implicit Deny' policy. 

Deep inspection has enabled on the SWG policy.

 

Check the SSL inspection profile:

 

Go to Configuration -> Security -> SSL profile -> Configure SSL -> Check the Exemptions list.
