Rules are not applied correctly

Question

Hi,

I'm using SFOS 18.0.1 MR-1-Build396. I need to block the youtube traffic for a MAC address between some hours and for others not For this I've been using a time scheduler, an application filter to allow the traffic and with a lower precedence a drop rule for all media streamers.
Rule 3 should be active using a time scheduler and allow youtube only then;
Rule 4-5 should be applied for some other mac addresses and allow vimeo and youtube, all the time;
Rule 6 should block all media streaming;

Here are the dumps:

Hi Catalin, 
 I have had a quick look at your rules and can see a number of holes. 
 a summary of blocking access 
 1/. You need a block rule times 
 2/. you need an equivalent allow rule times 
 3/. you need to block access to that site/s in every other rule. 
 4/. you will need to reduce your use of any service too specific services. 
 5/. and where possible avoid using a generic internet access rule because all traffic will eventually find it way there. 
 
 Those are some thoughts for you until I can look on a bigger screen or some other forum members add to your thread.
