I tried blocking youtube using web or application filter but once it is blocked, some sites are also blocked.
What should I do?

Lim,
If you are using Chrome make sure to block port UDP 443 so traffic will be correctly filtered by XG.
Youtube/ Google/apps related to google uses QUIC protocol that would operate on UDP : 443.
Create a top rule where you block UDP 443 from LAN to WAN and traffic will be switched to TCP and XG will do the filtering.

Hi
in my case this workaround only works for the desktop browser. On my Android devices I can't see a fall back to TCP. They just don't work anymore.
Is there a way to block outgoing UDP and have the android devices do a fallback to TCP?
Till now I couldn't find anything.
Thanks
Stefan
