Block Youtube

Good day

I have a challenge with blocking youtube. Initially the rule was working fine and all of the sudden users are able to access youtube. i can block other site but youtube keeps working.

i have just upgraded the sophos firmware to SFOS 19.0.1 MR-1-Build365 with a thought that the problem will be solved but nothing.

please assist as the bandwith is compromised.

Hi thothome Moshidi

Suspecting user might have installed a third party proxy VPN and bypassed the security.
