URL Filtering for Youtube

[adamgibs7]

Dears,

I have a query related to URL filtering, we have enabled a youtube for specific users and these were working fine with streaming category,, in my other rule (  internet allowed website) I found the uncategorized category is also allowed which is not a good practice so I removed the uncategorized category and now the users who have been allowed youtube by a specific rule is not working what I sort it out was that there are many advertisement sites opening with youtube which gets blocked by uncategorized url and also youtube gets blocked with them, I specifically enabled those URL's with the youtube rule  but still it doesn't work, when I added uncategorized with the youtube rule then youtube  started working

any hints how I can solve the issue.

thanks

Hi Adam,

I would suggest to add few more URL's to be allowed. add "ytimg.com" , "googlevideo.com"

If that does't work, check the connection events for each URL which is allowed and see if there is something related to google which is getting blocked.

Hope it helps,

Yogesh
