Blocking YouTube Problems

RMcCauley
We are tyring to block YouTube.com and if I add it to the list of "additional sites to block" in URL filtering, it doesn't work. Is there another way to block it? Or why isn't it working?

    The other sites that are there are still blocked but adding new ones does nothing. I assuming this is not where I should be blocking the websites.

    What's the REGEX you're using to block?  Please show an example of a YouTube video being passed in the Web Filtering log.

    Cheers - Bob

    Got it. It was an exception in the whitelist. I guess that take priority. Once that was deleted, it started working. Thanks for the input.
