WebBlocker Cannot Block Some Website

in Firebox - Subscription Services

Good Day To Everyone,

I am just trying my luck if anyone can give me some hints or help.

There are websites that I cannot block.
If I test the url, it will show as a category that is also "deny" in the webblocker options.

I already added them to the exceptions as "deny" in which I already tried a lot of different text patterns.

There are quite a lot of similar websites like this.
Did I miss anything?

    On which policy is your WebBlocker action selected?
    If a HTTPS proxy policy, see the WebBlocker and Domain Name Rules section,
    here:
    https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Fireware/proxies/https/https_webblocker_settings_c.html

    From the above link, if your default HTTPS proxy Action is Inspect, then you need to use the desired WebBlocker action in the HTTP proxy action which is specified in the HTTPS proxy action, not in the HTTPS WebBlocker action.

    If you are using HTTPS proxy policy, you can deny the domain pinayflix.me as an exact match.
    This is my preferred way to block specific sites such as this.

    And you can open a support case and get WG to help resolve this.
    Use the Support Center link above to do so.

    Hi! Thank you for your answer. I actually tried to put it in HTTPS proxy action as "deny". I experimented with exact match and pattern match. The website can still be accessed.

    I think I will make a support case. Thank you so much! Have a nice day.
