Why are ads on youtube not being blocked?!

Hi.

So, I've been struggling for a while trying to completely and utterly block ads from ever loading in Youtube videos. It seems like, no matter what I do, no matter what I block in UTM, nothing works. And this is very frustrating and is really beginning to piss me off.

 

HTTPS Filtering is turned on.

I've tried many different methods, I've blocked several application categories, different domains, urls and other stuff. I've even blocked QUIC completely.

But nothing is working. Ads are still getting through on YouTube. And I'm about fed-up with this.

If anyone has any suggestions, or anything that works PLEASE TELL ME! I do NOT want to block youtube completely.

Firewall Rule on QUIC

 

These are just some of the troublesome URLs that seem to get through, despite everything I've put in place.

  • Do you mind sharing where and how you setup this regex in Sophos?

    I've noticed that Sophos has become pretty useless at blocking nearly any ads so I've resorted to setting up and using Pi-Hole instead. So far, that is working like a charm but the YouTube ad blocking isn't really working well in Pi-Hole. Would love to implement this to close the gap on blocking as many ads as I can.
