Hello, you must use Web Filtering and block social network also you need to use your application control with the apps to block.

Combine those security profiles and you will get results.

Hello,

Isn't possible to allow social networks in the web filter but also block video streaming inside Facebook?

Go to Security Profiles > Application Control and make sure your used (intern to wan) Application Control Profile is selected (Top right drop down menu)

Below Application Override click Add Signatures and search for Facebook_Video.Play

Select it and hit Use Selected Signatures

Make sure it is set to Block

Apply

I am already applying this Application Sensor and the videos inside the Facebook still running.

Did you apply the Application Control Profile to the correct policy?

[asmaa]

yes, I did...does that mean that Facebook is broadcasting the videos via https??

guys, I think won't work. I saw another way but is so difficult to me understand because it works by CLI console.

Check this https://forum.fortinet.com/tm.aspx?m=122716#122716 and tell me.

Same here also. Facebook video still plays. Our bandwidth is being consumed because of this.

Hello guys again, I tried to block embedded videos on Facebook with CLI's instructions mentioned above. That recipe is suppossed to work by blocking the header content of web filtering, then I did apply it to a specific policy. Enabled SSL inspection.

And nothing. Same sad results.

This is a royal pain in the #$$.

Some super fortigate guru can help us.... It can´t be possible that Facebook's users win this battle. :D
