I am having this issue again where the web filter is being bypassed and allowing blocked websites to load. I am simply trying to add a website to the blocked list. As an example, I am trying to block "Foxnews.com" from loading.
Simple enough, right? No.
Web filtering: Enabled
In the Web Filter Profiles, under Default content filter block action, in the Websites category I have http://www.foxnews.com and https://www.foxnews.com blocked (include subdomains), yet they are allowed to load.
In the Web Filtering section, I have my Internal network in allowed networks, set to transparent mode. Default authentication: none. HTTPS URL filtering only. The issue isn't HTTPS certificates (decrypt and scan) because even non-HTTPS websites are being loaded.
I have tried both Firefox and Chrome browsers. both allow blocked sites to load. The add-on HTTPS Everywhere has been removed.
In Web Filter Profiles, nothing is listed in the window, but Default Web Filter Profile is enabled.
In the policy helpdesk, Foxnews is allowed URL category General News. When viewing the Webfilter live log, nothing appears when I go to any of the blocked websites I have entered.
