Newly Registered Site

morpheus27

I have M270 device running v12.11.6 OS. WebBlocker blocks access to the following host. I checked their whois record. It was registered 28 years ago (in 1998). Why?

Reason: Category 'Newly Registered Websites' denied by WebBlocker policy 'Default-WebBlocker'.

Please contact your administrator for assistance.

Occasionally I see some oddities like that too with WebBlocker.

If you know what category it should be, submit a request at https://securityportal.watchguard.com/UrlCategory to have it changed (there's a link on that page listing the categories).
Probably need to go down the support ticket path if that doesn't change.

What do I submit in the "Enter uncategorized/mis-categorized URLs and suggested categories below:" box?

The URL of the website whose category you want to change goes in the URL field.

The suggested category goes after it.

You can see all the possible categories here:

It's possible the website you're looking at changed hosts. Submitting a category change request should get it reviewed and updated.
