Web Filtering overrides Firewall block and allows traffic

Hello,
I am trying to setup a Firewall rule to block a host, certain hours of the day.

I setup the rule and it does work but only if Web Filtering is Disabled.

It seems that Web Filtering overrides the Firewall rules. I can see the blocked packets in the Live Firewall log but he sites still load if Web Filtering is enabled.

I have no exceptions in the Web Filter and I am using transparent mode.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Place the host into the transparent destination skiplist and make sure the bypass checkebox below is NOT checked. Should work.
