Trouble blocking URL groups

I am having a strange problem trying to block a script from a page. Here is the complete url of the script http://js.moatads.com/aolvidiblecontent859375382/moatvideo.js#_moatApi62941153 

What I have done is block it via URL group in web filter by blocking js.moatads.com. I also tried blocking moatads.com. If I try to go to maotds.com or js.moatds.com, I get the page blocked as expected. However if I try the full url, I get the script. The logs show moatads.com being blocked however the full URL shows allowed under the same firewall rule. Don't really understand what is going on. Here is the firewall log

and here is the URL group that i tried to block 

Here is the web policy

and the firewall policy

There is nothing in the application logs. Any help is appreciated.

  • Uhm...it seems that subdomain are not checked.

    Did you try to use URL Pattern like UTM or like the example you find inside exceptions? I am not sure about that on XG URL Group!

    ^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?example\.com/

    I am not at the office in order to try this pattern, but it works on exceptions.

  • Hi luk, regex are only allowed for allowing URL exception (under web > exception). That only allows for bypassing scanning and policy checks but does not allow for blocking. The only place to block URLs is under URL groups and regex is not allowed under URL groups[:@]

    As always, tried blocking with UTM9 and it worked fine [:#]
