Apply Application-based Traffic Shaping Policy No affecting my youtube application

I created a "traffic shaping default" in applications for youtube to limit it's bandwidth usage. Set the bandwidth with to 2kB( So it should be very slow).

In the firewall rule i checked "Apply application-based traffic shaping policy".

I am still able to use YouTube normally which defeats the purpose of reducing the bandwidth so drastically.

Any assistance will be appreciated. 

I followed the step on here community.sophos.com/.../123062

  • Hi,

    if you review the application list in XG you will find that youtube is a browser based so you would need to use the web proxy to limit youtube not application control.

    I tried limiting download, that didn't work, so I tried to block youtube that didn't work. So conclusion you will need use a destination of the youtube FQDN group and apply download limits to that.

    I can't test any further due to XG limitations with it IPv6 implementation, you cannot use FQDNs in destinations.
