How to Disable Virus Scans and Content Filtering for Streaming URLs Like Hulu, Netflix Just for the Devices Like Roku, Apple TV, FireTV

Changed form UTM 9 to XG firewall and have to get used to the menu system and layout.  I am trying to get Hulu to steam to my Roku.  But when the Roku calls for the stream it starts to load and drops out.  The Web filter log viewer shows it is allowed.  On my UTM 9 I had to make an exception for the URL and disable the antivirus and web contend filtering, and SSL validation.  How can I do this with the XG Firewall?

  • Yes. I added two with the Source IP Address *, and Destination IP Address *, One is "^https?://[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.hulu\.com" the other is "^https?://[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.huluim\.com" both with the Action set to Bypass. The only way I can get it to work so far is to turn off the Malware Scanning for HTTP under the Policies tab and edit my only #Default_Network_Policy.

  • Can you provide the details to the bypass you are recommending? From what I've read here and elsewhere, Sophos and Hulu/Netflix are not compatible. At least if you plan to use the web filtering options in Sophos XG.
