Fortiguard SDNS Blocked Page for Exempt URL

[Marcde_J]

Hi

I have added a specific website to an allow group in a new policy with no security profiles.

Additionally added wildcard/exempt in the Web Filter profile for other policies and yet am still getting the 'Fortiguard SDNS Blocked Page' when trying to access.

Further nothing appears in the logs for it being blocked?

I am at my wits end not sure where its going wrong

Hi @Marcde_J ,

Have you enabled on firewall policy log allowed traffic "all sessions " ? 

Have you checked under Web filter logs ?
