If your Content Filter appears to block legitimate websites unexpectedly—even when they don't belong to a blocked category—check whether the "Allow HTTP(S) traffic for allow lists only" setting is enabled in your Content Filter profile.

What does "Allow HTTP(S) traffic for allow lists only" do?

When enabled, this feature turns your Content Filter into a strict whitelist for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. The device will only allow access to websites explicitly listed in the allow list.

If you're experiencing unexpected blocking, or if your goal is to allow broader internet access with category-based filtering, ensure this feature is disabled.
