&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#1 from the UI if you do a policy test and enter:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;website.com&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;mydomain\danny&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;on the right side does it say its blocked.. or allowed and trusted ? and what policy rule is it hitting?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#2 setting a site in the local site list as trusted does not grant access to it, it simply stops scanning of it. IE AV scanning or allowing byte-range requests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;any entry in the local site list with more than one period indicates the entry is for that specific site, not the domain.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ie: maps.google.com would white list the one site where as google.com would include all sub domains of google.com&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#3 are you also using endpoint / full web control&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#4 what is your deployment mode? transparent proxy etc&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#5 do you have https scanning enabled?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;finally please let me know what you mean by blocked.. are you trying to allow one user, or everyone .. or based on a policy to get somewhere?&amp;nbsp; or is the policy all done but theres another issue perhaps with the site its self?&amp;nbsp; also .. is the site http or https.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
