Enforce safesearch issues on youtube

Question

Hi, 
 I am seeing some issues since i went to v17 all the way from beta to GA. 
 When safesearch is enabled i now have issues with some youtube videos where although i see the title the content is different. 
 For example with safesearch enabled, when i search for an Indian program called "crime patrol" i am getting weird results. 
 My understanding this was only applied on search engines and not youtube. 
 Any ideas?

Hello, 
 As per Michael Dunn Sophos Engineer, SafeSearch and Youtube Restricted mode is single common and global setting on XG firewall.

I ran into this issue with youtube as well. I ended up creating a LAN to WAN rule with a Destination Network of *.youtube.com. I disabled scan HTTP and Decrypt & Scan HTTPS on this rule and placed it above everything else. Users are now able to view youtube unrestricted while still enforcing safe search. The downside with this is there is no control over the access to youtube since it's not getting inspected.

We have created Firewall Rules without Web Policy associated before other firewall rules with web policies to get it working. We created a FQDN group to contain below wildcard domains, and the services we set HTTP and HTTPS because we saw the web policy logs before the youtube stuff only use these protocols, but for some reason, we found it is not working well, so we use Any Services instead for the destination group contain below domains: Required: 
 *.youtube.com *.googlevideo.com *.ytimg.com *.doubleclick.net *.googleapis.com *.googleadservices.com *.ggpht.com 
 Optional I think 
 *.googleusercontent.com *.gstatic.com
