youtube URL filtering

adamgibs7 — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 15:30:55 GMT

Dears,

I have a query related to URL filtering, we have enabled a youtube for specific users and these were working fine,, in my other rule ( internet website allowed) 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 is not working what I sort it out was that there there are many advertisement sites opening with youtube which gets blocked and also youtube gets blocked with them, I enabled those with the youtube url but still it doesn't work, any hints how I can solve the issue.

thanks

What are you using behind: FTD or sourcefire and ASA?

Can you post some config maybe?

Dear Florin

I dont have the configs now for the specific rule but streaming media is selected in the url column and specific https://youtube.com has been mentioned, nothing else, if these 2 are selected in the url it doesnt work along with these 2 if i put uncategorize then the youtube works,

I dont know how we should solve this problem.

At this moment in time, I have no XP with ASA UTM capabilities so I cannot help.
What I can think of is to "tail the logs", meaning you enable WebFiltering logging then you replicate the issue then immediately check the logs, maybe there you can spot "the reason".
