HKJC is very common gambling website in Hong Kong.

I would like to use fortigate gambling web filter but i want to exclude HKJC website.

What can be done about it?

Thanks

It sounds like you've got your hands full with web filtering and gambling sites – quite the tech adventure, isn't it? The idea of using Fortigate's filter to exclude specific sites like HKJC is pretty intriguing.

You can use either web rating override or URL filter in Web filter profile to achieve this. Please refer to the following KBs for more information:

Just go into the web filter settings, find the gambling category, and then add HKJC as an exception. This way, the filter won't block it, and you can still access the site while keeping the rest of your filters in place.

I had a similar situation when I was setting up web filters for a network. What worked for me was adding the website to an exclusion list in the Fortigate settings—it's pretty straightforward. Just make sure you input the exact domain name for HKJC to avoid blocking it. It saved me a lot of hassle! Speaking of filters, have you checked out the best game shows to play online? I found some cool ones recently, like trivia-style games, that add a fun twist to downtime.

Some websites known to be helpful. But there are few ones that we try to integrate Fortinet with like https://newrelic.com/ it probably could combat
