Wildcard for web filter

[ZAHIDHASEEB]

Fortinet Firewall 200F

I want to allow each and every page before and after of manageengine.com 

I add an entry *.manageengine.com/* with Wildcard, Exempt and Enable but I am not able to allow all websites

Hi @ZAHIDHASEEB 

At this KB, you will find the  difference between 'allow' and 'exempt' in the web filter URL filter

Hi @ZAHIDHASEEB 

Did you followed the tip:

Putting 'space' after '*' on an expression will result in a wildcard match of all URLs.

Example:

 * yahoomail.com      <-- There is a space between * and yahoomail.

- Please can you provide us with the logs when you are trying to reach *.manageengine.com/*

- Please check if it matches the correct firewall policy.

Best regards,

Erlin
