  • Traffic can be blocked by IPS and Application control.

    Did you check their logs?

  • according to support : The web exceptions would only for for web filter module. As firewall would have a higher priority over web filter the traffic will no go to the web component. In this setup you have two options. 1) create a FQDN for selected sites or 2) set the firewall rule 1 as allow and use web filter Deny All. Then the policy of web exceptions would work. Also set application filter while using option 2 to block applications so they would not use a tool to bypass the firewall. In your setup I would advise option 1 as list of allowed websites is limited.

     

    So if u want to allow some websites for all or several folks only you have to create a firewall rule with destination the fqdn of the sites you want

     

    had to check with google network debugger to allow all the fqdn needed and it works - but i still believe the exception should be prior to firewall
