Dear All, 

 

I have one Firewall 5515X with source fire.  I blocked youtube (youtube.com) in order to block both http and https. It was working fine for some PC and for PC it is still opening for https. Also the youtube app in iphone and andriod is stil working.

 

Best Regards

Saad Khan

The ASA w/ Firepower does not support the blocking of https traffic.  Cisco is supposed to release support for blocking https traffic this summer.  However, enabling this feature will put a heavy load on your ASA and the fact that it's a 5515x, it may bring it to a crawl.  If you have a small number of users, like less than 50, it may be ok to do https url filtering.  Any more than that, you would either need a larger ASA or an Ironport WSA.  

The Ironport WSA already supports https url filtering and is purpose built for this feature.
