I haven't tried this to see how effective it is, but the usual answer is enable the micro site function.
I do have it enabled on my XG, but don't try to block specific sites as you as trying to.

I suspect it has to do with the way you have setup your users. I assume you are using clientless and DHCP?
Check the connection logs looking for your son's PC IP address.
Check that it is actually facebook he is going to and not some other site that then forwards your connection.
Why do you have two rules basically doing the same thing. In theory the second rule will never be used.

Hi rfcat_vk
Actually, in my LAN, I have 1 PC (server), its DHCP for all, that is my media/data server. and I setup XG Firewall in front of LAN an behind the ISP router. After setup the rules and try block facebook, my PC and my son's PC still access to the facebook webpage.
Btw, I trying to setup UTM 9.4 in other PC with fresh install.
Thank you verry much.

To test out what is going wrong I added the block generally unwanted applications which includes facebook in many forms.
What I found was that I could open facebook and a number of parts of facebook that I had previously opened but any new pages failed with no internet try again. Now my iPad has internet so the filter is working.
I have clientless users setup and match against know users.

HI Mạnh,
Make sure you have the set the Keyword "facebook" , We have re-created the scenario you wish to configure and implemented on our end. We have found that the Website is blocked . Tested on Mozilla and Google Chrome ..
Kindly follow the settings I have laid out for you.
Additionally, We would recommend you block few categories which may be of exploit to bypass Your XG firewall via using Proxy and Tunnel.
On Web Filter you would need to block categories such as Anonymizers, Command and Control .
On Application Control Categories: P2P, Proxy and Tunnel and few application such as 'facebook android','facebook chat','facebook iphone','Facebook Limited Access','Facebook Message','Facebook Messanger', 'Facebook Plugin' ,'Facebook Website'etc .
