I'm trying out the web proxy, with a view to protecting some family members from themselves. Testing while the family is out of the house today, I've turned on transparent proxying, with Antivirus/Malware disabled, and URL filtering set to Allow with no Block boxes checked.
It works for the most part, but I'm seeing a couple of sites getting blocked, and I don't understand why, given the above settings.

The first one is my Weather gadget trying to update the local conditions, and the second is my FTP server attempting to ascertain my external address for static FTP.
Both these sites are categorized as benign by the McAfee SmartFilter XL test tool, so even if I was blocking certain categories they should go through, but I'm not even doing that.
Am I missing something obvious, or is this broken?
