Hi,
I'm running 9.311-3 on an SG 230 and having this same problem. The workarounds didn't work in my case. Conde68's idea with the transparent skip list got closer though. Rather than a "country blocked" message from the page, the page timed out after a couple minutes.
I also tried doing both a country exception AND a transparent proxy skip list.
Now wondering if there'd be any point in submitting a support ticket since Soohos MUST know this is still an issue.
Thanks,
Jeff
Jeff - Sophos fixed this for me, after submitting an SR. They need to look at your particular setup. After looking at mine, they figured out where the blocking was taking place, and we were able to come up with an exception rule that worked.

On 9.408 and it is still broken. The wirkaround I was given was to disable url filtering for the desired site. Of course, thst makes it impossible to limit access to a few users only, based on category. Another case is being escalated.
The trick is that the country blocking excdpfion needs to include "http cache" service in addition to http and https. Juxt finishex a case on this with support.
An alternative is to disable url checking in a web filtering exception.
