Hello,

 

You can try with webfilter static URL.

 

Simply create a Static URL entry to block "www.linkedin.com/jobs/

Note: You must also apply SSL deep-inspection to the policy, otherwise FGT cannot identify the full URL ("/jobs/"   part) because it is encrypted. It will not work with certificate-inspection  only.

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

Is there any other way to block ("www.linkedin.com/jobs/") such URLs? Just for knowledge!!

Sorry for joining the discussion so late, but it caught my attention, and I couldn’t resist chiming in. If you're looking to block LinkedIn Jobs while still keeping access to the rest of LinkedIn, you can set up a web filter policy on your FortiGate firewall to block that specific URL. However, I know there are excellent resources for finding and researching new job vacancies that offer excellent career choices and provide in-depth reviews on various fields. For example, I recently came across a great review that helped me discover both pros and cons of working at Tesla. I think it could be really helpful for someone who's considering applying for a job there. I can send you the link if you're interested!
