Better transparency for Security Filters (DNS / URL filtering)

Hi everyone,

The security features are generally very good, but sometimes it’s not clear why exactly a website gets blocked.

In my case, the issue was first caused by the DNS filter, and later by the URL filter. It would be really helpful to have a way to test a domain directly in the interface and immediately see which filter or category is blocking it.

This would make troubleshooting and fine-tuning the security settings much faster and clearer for admins.

Best,
Valentin

    Hi @tekkie

    DNS/URL threat filter provides a test tool to check the category this domain belongs to. Please reference to the screenshots below.
