USG Flex 200 allow a specific URL

henriquev

Hi,

We have a need to allow a specific youtube URL like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOG7j9C4kVs&ab_channel=FazendoNerdice

on top of our security policy that blocks the youtube as a whole.

Is it possible to accomplish this using an USG Flex 200 registered on Nebula?

Hi @henriquev,

Regarding your requirement to allow to a specific YouTube URL you've mentioned while blocking YouTube as a whole, we would like to clarify that this is not achievable on Nebula.

The reason is that the whitelist feature for website filtering does not support full URL paths (such as /watch?v=...). It only allows domain-level filtering (e.g., youtube.com, docs.google.com, etc.).

We apologize for the earlier confusion and appreciate your understanding.

Their might be two ways it could be done one is that YouTube use http and USG looks deep to all a full URL path the other is the use of SSL inspection to see the full URL path.
