Unexpected behavior

[crogonint]

Current version FortiClient (6.0.9.0277), just installed it late last night / this morning. Under Notifications it says:

5/10/2020 3:20:59 PM Web Filter Blocked (Unknown): updates.logitech.com:80/logitech/controldevices/logioptions/8.10/logioptions/8.10.154/_w7/64/logioptions.exe.sig?dlu.uv=7.00.99999&dlu.han=logioptions&dlu.hav=8.10&dlu.hpn=logioptions&dlu.hpv=8.10.154&dlu.hpe=exe&dlu.uos=_w7&dlu.ubi=64&dlu.uid=9d9ad23ebe5024d24f14a370c12f1e6f&hcd1=c534&hcd2=4054 (C:\ProgramData\Logishrd\LogiOptions\Software\Current\Updater.exe)   Did you notice that it says that it blocked it because it is unknown? Double checking the Web Filter page, it says that Unrated is Allowed. None the less, right there at the bottom of the Unrated page, it says:

I mean, I'm pretty sure that the internet domain of a 30 year old hardware manufacturer ought to be on some sort of white list in the first place. For now though, I put this in the Exclusion list, so that it can check for my driver updates:

 Exclusion List

Add/remove pages from filteringAddRemoveEdit PERMISSION    TYPE       URL  (Allow)            URL        logitech.com Does that look right? I'm not seeing any clear instructions in the interface. I'm just guessing that allowing the root domain here will allow software to access a subdomain. I mean, TECHNICALLY, we.. you.. should have different Web Filters for what domains and IPs the web browser can access, what programs can access, and what the 'system' (system level permissions) can access.. However, I've learned over the years that using guesswork in a security application is a fools errand. ;)

Strike one for FortiClient.

Oh. My. God. 'Enable Site Categories' ignores my attempts to disable it, regardless of whether or not 'Web Filter' is enabled or disabled.
