URL Referrer Blocking

We want to allow access to YouTube search but lock down certain search terms. The way the YouTube search works is circumventing the URL/Content search so XG is not blocking it. If you then refresh the results page it then blocks it. Anyone know how to block from the referrer string? All going through the web proxy, https decryption enabled with QUIC disabled.

  • Hi BenjaminMiller

    As far as I know, we can allow or block YouTube with help of a Web filter or with an Application filter, seems you have a feature request to meet your requirement.

    Put a vote on the Feedback button available on Sophos XG firewall from GUI.

    Thanks and Regards
