Block all websites using https when Decrypt & Scan HTTPS is enabled

buzz buzz

Hi everyone!

I have problem with the feature Decrypt & Scan HTTPS is checked.

The situation is this, I am blocking facebook and youtube during office hours and to be able to block also facebook and youtube mobile apps I enable the Decrypt & Scan HTTPS on the firewall but the problem is that all websites using https also are blocked like google.com and etc.

How can I block facebook and youtube mobile apps without affecting desktop browser who uses other websites like google, wikipedia, amazon and etc.?

Anyway I am using XG Firewall.

 

Thanks,

buzz

    Hi Buzz,

    you don't need to use the Web Protection Module for blocking youtube and Facebook i suggest to give a try with App control.

    you could build a rule like this and apply it to a Network Rule "Wifi to WAN" allow Any, MASQ, App Control -> Block Youtube + Facebook

    you can assign a custom timeframe like "Working Hours" to that App Control Policy
