SSL Inspection Error with Apple websites

Hello, I am running SFOS 19.5.4 and I noticed that I cannot get to any secure apple.com website since the last update. I try to go to apple business manager (business.apple.com) and it will just spin and eventually time out.  I also tried to purchase a device through apple.com and it time out when I attempt to go to the cart.  In the SSL/TLS inspection logs there is always an error for any *.apple.com domain saying "Server did not respond to client hello". I tried adding exceptions for apple domains in Web/Exceptions and under the "Local TLS exclusion list", but no change. I am only having issues with apple websites so far, but since I use apple business manager for iPad management it is pretty important to get this fixed. I tested off network on a hotspot just to make sure it was the firewall blocking it.

Any suggestions?

  • I have created exceptions for all of the apple subdomains that are being blocked, but I think it is still blocking them.  For apple business manager, it is excluding business.apple.com, but there are subdomains like "ws.business.apple.com" and "axm-telemetry.apple.com" that are still showing errors in the SSL/TLS exceptions log. I created exceptions for those domains as well, but I guess it's not working?

    ^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?ws\.business\.apple\.com/
    ^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?axm-telemetry\.apple\.com/
