[BUG] Web Filter blocking random categories

This is the web filter policy that I have applied to some firewall rules where I used the DPI engine

The web filter is blocking other random categories for no reason. This is the log

And example

Why is this happening?

  • l0rdraiden,

    check the website via the Policy Tester under Diagnostic menu. Also, switch to Proxy mode and see if the websites are blocked.

    Regards

  • The web filter blocks the same stuff the policy test allows. This is still the DPI mode. Anyway it's a bug no matter if with the web proxy works.

     

     

     

  • I have seen a similar issue -- scenario:

     

    XG Home firewall (v18 latest build) with an IPSEC tunnel to home office (happens to be a SG UTM, latest build).  Tunnel is up, traffic routes fine... for the most part.  ON the XG side a rule is configured to allow access from home office subnet to main office subnet, allow ANY -> ANY, NO web filtering enabled, NO IPS, NO App Control, etc..  Globally DPI is disabled (this was done later as a troubleshooting step).  Still... when Outlook starts on a laptop on the home office subnet, and it goes to port 80 on the mail server at the other end (the autodiscover, etc. traffic) the Web Content filter shows the following (some info redacted):

    Using OWA to the same IP works fine, etc.  It's like the web filtering setting is being ignored on some firewall rules, and not entirely.
