Hi,
I'm trying to block specific websites using the Static URL Filter in the WebFilter security profile.
What happens though is that the website is blocked only when typed into the address bar of the browser and not when accessed through a search engine.
Example:
If I block netflix.com, the site is actually blocked when I type netflix.com into the browser bar, but I can still access it when I look for netflix on google and then click on the results.

Can you please show your URL Filter configuration?
Hello
I suspect that Netflix is using a CDN (Content Delivery Network) and therefore your Static URL filter will not work.
Perhaps your best option would be to create a deny-rule using the Netflix Internet Service as the destination and deny block like that?
Hope this helps in someway,
Thanks for your reply.
It's not just Netflix but it's but it seems to do the same with all URLs of various different services (video straming, webmails, etc.).
Please show your configuration
Hi Graham,
I cloned the default Web Filter profile, turn it into proxy-based (as well as the firewall policy on which it's applied) then added some static URL Filters using the wildcard configuration and action set to "block".
Please show this configuration. Screen shot or CLI output.
please see below
config webfilter profile
edit "ASST_default"
set comment "asst proxy web filtering."
set feature-set proxy
config web
set urlfilter-table 1
end
config ftgd-wf
unset options
set exempt-quota g21
