Running a small computer lab (classroom) and I am having an issue with a sonicwall content filter. (TX350; SonicOS Enhanced 6.5.4.7-83n) with Server 2019.
Youtube is blocked in cfs, which works fine for Users in group A, who have no access to google or any of their services. Users in group B, however, that's a different story.
A Group B user is initially blocked when they type the url into the address bar. However, if they use the youtube link from their google apps list, that bypasses the content filter. Oddly, from that point on, youtube is not blocked by any means. From the moment they click the app, from then on they can type in the url and my content filter is bypassed.
This is also computer specific. If they log into a different machine, typing the url initially results in a block, but after clicking the link, they can bypass the content filtering from then on on that second computer.
youtube.com, youtube.* have been blacklisted. I have also blocked Multimedia in the cfs profile for Group B.
