Site blocked by Internet Radio and TV Category

[#1]

Hi This is my first post and hope to be here for long...Ok here we go.. I have put a block on my firewall protection profile " scan" for fortiguard under Internet Radio and TV. This enables the firewall to block all music and tv sites. There is a site called www.uklandinvestor.com, this is falling under Internet Radio and TV and hence blocked. I would want to allow users to visit this site. Could someone tell me how to go about it. Thanks

Go into web filter, Exempt URL and add it as an exempt site.

just add " uklandinvestor.com" Exempt! (it' s better when there exist subdomains)

Thanks to Dsheldon and Oberon... for replies. I tried what you had said still did not work. I finally found the cure.. as I am using OS Ver 3 on fortigate 100.... under web filter ----- Fortiguard Webfiler and then create overide. I created new url as uklandinvestor.com and put expiry to 364 days! and it works... Thanks.

Looking at the site, it' s clearly not related to any sort of radio or television. The FortiGuard site allows category look-up of URLs, as well as suggesting changes of miscatagorized URLs: http://www.fortinet.com/FortiGuardCenter/webfiltering/webfiltering2.html

Thanks for the link. I have already send the site suggestion to fortinet. Thanks RickP for the link.

It sounds like your firewall is correctly tagging the site under the Internet Radio and TV category, which is why it’s getting blocked. If you want to allow access to onstream, you’ll need to add its URL or domain to the FortiGuard “Allow List” or create an explicit exemption within your web filter profile. Just go into your filtering policy, locate the override or exception settings, and add onstream so it bypasses the category block while the rest of your restrictions stay intact.
