Hello guys!
I have web filter configured on my fortigate 80F to my AD users and for the las 3 months it have been working fine, since last month a profile where the Web Chat category is permited started blocking the whastapp web. The logs tells the block is because the webfilter is categorizing whatsapp web as Social Networking. The FortiGuard Web Filter Lookup categorizes it as Web Chat, I created a web rating overrides to solve the problem but why my fortigate is categorizing it like social networking?

here the access is not blocked based on url rating but based on IP rating.
dstip=157.240.222.60
ratemethod=ip
And the IP is rated under social networking, and hence should be blocked.
best regards,
Jin
Hi,
Could you please post the raw log? If web.whatsapp.com is detected by urlfilter, it should have been categorized as webchat, but may be application control detects it as social networking category.
best regards,
Jin

Jin, pps.whatsapp.net is the url of whatsapp app running on a windows desktop, but is the same problem with the url web.whatsapp.com. Please, see the following raw log:
