Exclude an IP address from Web Filter/HTTPS Scanning

I have a blu-ray player and another streaming media box that have static IPs and need to be excluded completely from all filtering/scanning. How do I do this?

Hi, since your devices are initiating outgoing connections, they are the Sources, so you want #1.

The default firewall policy is Block, although the setup wizard gives the choice to allow surfing for the LAN.
Check it anyways... Network Security -> Firewall.
Some devices need more than ports 80/443 open; check the logs (Rule #1) if you have trouble:

Also, you'll need a Masquerading rule for your LAN if you didn't create one already.
LAN Network -> WAN Address
