Any way to request new webblocker categories?

I work for a school and students are constantly trying to watch movies and tv shows from sites streaming content illegally and there doesn't seem to be a category for it.

    Hi @AP_ILS
    Are these sites coming up with a category?

    -Sites like this tend to be new, and will often operate for a short time until they are taken down. Denying uncategorized websites may help.

    -The streaming media category may also be useful to deny if students are not allowed to stream media during the day.

    Failing that, I'd suggest opening a support case.

    If you'd simply like to suggest a new category, you can do so in the idea portal inside of WatchGuard Cloud. You can get there via the help button on the top right of the WatchGuard Cloud page, and then you can submit your request under a project (you'd want to pick firebox in this case.)
