Block YouTube

ChrisBaksa

Hello All,

I wondering if anyone has a proper method of blocking YouTube.

I have and SG125 and I simply want to put time limits of the YouTube viewing.

But no matter what I do ... it never seems to work correctly.  One device works, the other does not. 

I have my devices set with DHCP reservations and static Names so I know the devices get the same IP's

Support gave me these expressions (see pic) ... But i'm still fighting the battle.

URL filtering Only is selected.  Should I be using De crypt and Scan?

Any help is appreciated.  I've called support a few times and spent hours on the phone with them.  Its seems like such an easy request.

Thanks 

Chris

    Hi,

    you need to take into consideration all your other exceptions or bypass rules.

    Do you have video and audio scanning by pass ticked if so your rule will not be applied.

    You will need to setup a series of time managed profiles with the bypass video and audio either thicked on the allowed profile and unticked in the disallowed profile.

    I have left all my original post intact.

    The item I am referring to is in a different section and is either ticked or unticked, but not configurable in a profile. The item should be part of a profile to allw what you are trying to achieve.

    With the streaming ticked you will not be able to block youtube videos because they bypass scanning.

    I'm not sure where "bypass video and audio" tick box is.  Can't say I've ever seen that.

    My setup is very Basic.  I have one Default policy and then one for the kids.

    I'm using Transparent Mode.

    URL filtering only. When I selected De crypt and scan, You tube stopped working for everyone (except exempt hosts).

    I'm no guru with web filtering.  I find it a bit confusing.  But I'm even more pissed that I paid $1500 for this router (with support) and Spohos support has not been able to give me a workable solution.
