Hello, I have two questions about adding websites to the Global Scanning Exclusions list in Sophos central: If I add, for example, google.com - does this cover all subdomains for google.com like a.google.com, b.google.com, c.google.com etc.. or do I need to use a different syntax to cover all subdomains for google.com (*.google.com isn't valid)? If I have google.com excluded, does this also exclude all downloads from google.com? I ask because I'm troubleshooting an issue where downloads from a website are taking longer with Sophos installed.. I've tried whitelisting the website but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm guessing the downloads are slower because Sophos is inspecting the download (which is good), but, I'd like to add an exclusion for a trusted website that also excludes downloads from the trusted website. Thanks!

Question about whitelisting a website in Global Scanning Exclusions

Hello,

I have two questions about adding websites to the Global Scanning Exclusions list in Sophos central:

If I add, for example, google.com - does this cover all subdomains for google.com like a.google.com, b.google.com, c.google.com etc.. or do I need to use a different syntax to cover all subdomains for google.com (*.google.com isn't valid)?
If I have google.com excluded, does this also exclude all downloads from google.com?

I ask because I'm troubleshooting an issue where downloads from a website are taking longer with Sophos installed.. I've tried whitelisting the website but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm guessing the downloads are slower because Sophos is inspecting the download (which is good), but, I'd like to add an exclusion for a trusted website that also excludes downloads from the trusted website.

Thanks!
