XGS Web Filtering - content filtering not working

XGS under Protect > Web

On the far right, I select the three dots, select Content Filtering and upload a text list that has a few test terms in it.

In my web filtering policy I apply the following:

But when I apply/save and go to testwebsite.com/disallowedterm (where 'disallowedterm') is on the txt I uploaded, the site is still allowed. What gives?

    Hello ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    Could you please post a configuration snapshot of 'Web filtering' from a firewall rule?

    Please share what terms you've added in 'test-terms' content filter and also share the URL which you're trying to access so that I could try to implement the same in my LAB environment.

    Ensure that HTTPS scanning is enabled in web filtering.

  • Web filtering is as follows: Checking the highlighted item made no difference in the results, btw.

    The test-terms list included many subjectively inappropriate sexual related terms. One of the less offense ones was "boobs" at a clients request and a website called "thechive.com" with a sub url with "boobs" in the string still appeared accessible.

    I also tried adding the word "blogs" to the list, and accessing my domains blog section (mydomain.com/blogs) which should've been blocked and was not.
