URL on Cisco FirePower

I just built Cisco ASA with FirePower as Internet Gateway with full features. I would like to filter some URLs like Porn, Social Media, Streaming Media... However it's not working as expected. There are some issue like:

- I configured URL filter with category 'Adult and Pornography'. Then I tried to open some porn website such as https://xnxx.com and it was working. I monitored with Event Connection it allowed because this URL didn't in 'Adult and Pornography', it's unknown Category. I thought the issue related to the URL filtering DB. However CSI is up to date.

- I'm not sure why Youtube still working properly. I thought it may need some technique to filter.

That's odd. Cisco's FirePOWER products use Brightcloud's category and reputation service and that site definitely shows up as adult and pornography:

Can you share a screenshot of your relevant Access Control Policy rule and confirm that it has been successfully deployed?

I will screenshot and let you see the Rule Configuration and Connect Event which URL traffic proceed.

What ASA model are you using?

What version of FMC & Firepower module are you using?

I'm using Cisco Firepower 6.2.0 on Cisco ASA and I manage it by ASDM. Do you have any experiences to block Youtube? I have tried to block by category "Streaming Media" but it wasn't success. 

Thanks,

Mano

if you  need to block youtube then you need SSL encap/decap. because if a client type https://youtube.com than FP can not block this connection unless you have a SSL decap on box.

It looks no body have an answer to weird behaviour of FP(FMC 6.2.2) .We are struggling since one month and even cisco TAC doesn't have answer yet

I had a same issue after spending countless hours i find the issue. I am using 5506-x with URL,MAL,IPS lic on FMC.

whent you define a rule in ACP make sure you leave any your security zone and any interface i have attach the photo. once done then tetst it will work. i am uisng 6.2. and its blocking the adult and dirty websites.
