YouTube app not blocking YouTube

Are you able to load the videos or just the youtube search and the main page comes up? I put the same rule on my end and its showing me the youtube main page and I am able to search the videos, but the videos do not load at all.

Also can you post a screenshot of what the application filter logs look like for your host?

Govinda,

make sure that the LAN to WAN firewall rule you using, Decrypt and scan is enabled. You need to import the XG CA inside your browser to avoid certificate error message.

These above are the policies and the firewall rule to block the YouTube, the problem I am facing is that YouTube gets blocked through browser and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad)

 but Android devices still can open YouTube using the YouTube app in their mobile. It shows denied in log report but actually YouTube is running in an Android smartphones.

How it can be fixed?

Govinda,

as I said you need to enable decrypt and scan on the firewall rule which is unchecked at the moment (first screenshot).

Regards
