Hello,
I'm using web filtering on XG firewall.
Can someone tell me where and how i can block all domains in .zip and .mov for all users?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Wayne,
that approach was more successful than mine, it only blocked the zip software, other zip sites worked. I was able to access various mov (movie) sites without any obvious issues.

Here is my semi-official answer from Sophos.
The correct way to do this is with a URL Group, similar to what is posted by Wayne.
If you do this with a Category and use "domain" you cannot do a bare tld. If you use "keyword" then it applies to anywhere in the url and has a lot of false positives. You could theoretically use keyword with .zip/ and it would work with few false positives, the URL group is better - and more more CPU efficient.
good news. next it would be cool to have a real block message appearing at the users browser, instead of
Firefox:
Edge is a bit better:
first load:
Edge after waiting some more seconds:
Chrome displays the correct error immediately:
