Hi,

how are you blocking the applications and websites? Do you have decrypt and scan enabled? Do you have the XG CA installed on the end devices?

Hi,

the first thing to try is change your allowed services to http and https and also enable IPS.

Are both devices licensed?
Compare both webfilter policies, maybe one filter is not active.

Hi Armpit,

yes, you included one firewall rule which is the one you want the traffic to use, you did not answer which rule is used by the traffic when you review logviewer.
