Can anyone tell me how to create a firewall rule on Sophos UTM9 to allow the Grindr app to work properly through the firewall?

Add the following regex urls:
^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?grindr\.com/
^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?web\.grindr\.com/

Under the advance shell, cd /var/log/http.log check which are the similar urls for the site GRINDR are getting blocked, based on that log, we can create a regex url and add it under the exception list. Few more regex can be added: ^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)? web\.grindr\.com\.cdn\.cloudflare\.net/ ^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?app\.grindr\.com/ Additionally, you can trying adding the DST IPs, Under Web Protection > Filtering options > Misc > Transparent Mode Skiplist > Skip Transparent Mode Destination Hosts/Nets: IPs: > 104.16.235.5 > 75.2.70.75 > 99.83.190.102 > 13.227.138.2 > 13.227.138.41 > 13.227.138.43 > 13.227.138.34
