URL Category Lookup

Hi community,

In XG Firewall there is an option for looking up urls for its category.
Is there any option same as that available for Endpoint Protection (managed by Sophos Central).

A web site still under block rule even allow tag applied in the policy.
Is there any string maybe regex for this to allow a site with its sub domains and directories like;

contoso.com

or

*contoso.com*

Blocks the domain, subdomains, and paths. For example, https://www.contoso.com, https://sub.contoso.com, and https://contoso.com/abc are blocked.
https://contoso.com/a Blocks https://contoso.com/a but not additional subpaths like https://contoso.com/a/b.
https://contoso.com/a* Blocks https://contoso.com/a and additional subpaths like https://contoso.com/a/b.
https://toys.contoso.com* Blocks a subdomain (toys in this example) but allow clicks to other domain URLs (like https://contoso.com or https://home.contoso.com).

  • Hi ,

    This means that the websites added in the "blocksocial" tag are using the Sophos' default website categorization. You have the option to set a different category for a website for all the users if you think Sophos hasn’t categorized it correctly. So for websites where you've selected a category in the "Category Override" dropdown of the website tag, you'll see the category listed (For e.g. - "allow" tag) while for the tags where you haven't selected any category in the override section, the message "Category Override Disabled" message will appear. (For e.g. - "blocksocial" tag)

    However, we recommend that you send the website for reassessment if you think it has been categorized incorrectly. For more info, please see: https://docs.sophos.com/central/Customer/help/en-us/central/Customer/tasks/ep_ConfigureWebsiteList.html
