Youtube and ADS - Sometimes they are not blocked

lferrara

Coming from UTM, I never had issue on youtube ADS. Since v15 if you listen to a playlist or you watch multiple videos inside youtube website, ads appear sometimes.

In my web filter policy, of course, ADS are blocked (I hate them).

Anyone is experiencing this issue/behaviour?

Thanks

    Hi Luk,

    Just to confirm are you using Decrypt and Scan HTTPS?

    Thanks Emile. I was not using HTTPS scanning on UTM and even on XG. I reinstalled UTM on a VM and youtube ads never appear while using XG, sometimes they come out.

    Really sad!

    I noticed similar behavior with youtube and I don't use decrypt and scan either. I didn't research it too much but I have noticed that there is some categorization discrepancies between UTM9 and XG. Here is one example...

    While XG offers many categories, some items are categorized wrong and there are many items are under "Dynamic DNS & ISP Sites" category that don't make any sense.

    I don't know why sophos doesn't take what has already worked in UTM9 and use it for XG. They keep on reinventing stuff... look at the MTA, they brag about it as one of the great new features in XG that brings it closer to UTM9. Are they kidding me? UTM9 has a full function MTA server while XG has a very basic MTA that is nowhere as capable as UTM9. Why don't they use Exim from UTM9 that has worked for years? I give up[:D]

    Regards
    Bill

    Bob, we can add your question to "long list" of unanswered questions. Even the crying face emoticon disappeared on this community. Just crying....

    Saschin, AlanT are you there to give us more info about those big differences between XG and UTM? I never had any issue on Youtube website and Ads....

    Still a lot of work in Sophos Development House!
