web filter rating override *.url

[saharawolf]

Hello everyone, I have this little problem. Sometimes i need to do an override for a web site and all its sub-pages. For example: twitter.com, platform.twitter.com, mobile.twitter.com ... the doc says we can use *.twitter.com to make the override for all this. (i think). I tried this, but it still block by the web filter. Anyone got an idea on how to bypass this and get it work? thanks

I think you need to look at this; http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/microsites/microsite.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=FD32643

Thanks for the kb. But i still have some ambiguity there !! what should i exactly write il the URL filter ? they give in the example this .*main-domain\.com\/subdomain\.com.* what if i want to get access to *.twitter.com ?? sould i write *.twitter\.com ?? thank you for some light in this

Just be advised that some sites use URLs other than those under their domain. (Facebook is a prime example. The rely heavily on AKAMAI servers, so using a filter expression fails. Ask me how I know...) Application control is your only reasonable alternative there.

More like...

.*\\.twitter\\.com

or

.*\\.twitter\\.com.*

I found that custom categories works well for the entire domain. Add a custom category and set it to " monitor" in your webfilter. Then create a custom category with the url twitter.com and it will give all of twitter.com the custom category which will override the fortiguard servers category.
