    Hi @Dpj,

    May I know some details about your testing so I can investigate this issue better?

    1. Your model.
    2. Firmware version.
    3. Your security service configurations.
    4. The URL/website you tested.

    Thanks!

    Hello Melen,

    I got an USG Flex 200, configured in Nebula

    Firmware version V5.39(ABUI.1)

    Under the categor lyist i selected for example "Online Shopping", "Social networking" and "Streaming Media".

    In the Security Policies i created the following:

    (I readed also about the Block Quick Ports), so i added those also.

    When i open ah.nl:

    which belongs to Online shopping (just an example), get i this in Edge:

    but in an other browser i get:

    image.png

    I would expect, i got the nice looking page, as mentioned before.

    when i open for example X.com, in edge, i got also this page:

    image.png

    (of course then with x.com as site instead of ah.nl)

    Yours dennis

    Hi @Dpj

    I have reproduced this case and found the difference is on "https://"

    I'm checking with our engineer why we have this difference. I will update you once I have further information.

    Hi @Dpj,

    I apologize for the delayed reply. After checking, this behavior difference is because the browser might send a DNS query via HTTPS, in other words, DNS over HTTPS(DOH). The firewall can't monitor DOH traffic and take any actions.

    In addition, both outcomes mean the site is blocked.
