Description
This article describes how to allow access and playback of YouTube.com videos when blocking the Streaming Media category.
Scope
All FortiGate units.
Solution
- Web Rating Overrides.
Go to Security Profiles -> Advanced -> Web Rating Overrides.
Add the following URLs:
youtube.com
google.video.com
ad.doubleclick.net
gstatic.com
ytimg.com
2mdn.net
google.com
youtube-nocookie.com
googleads.g.doubleclick.net
cm.g.doubleclick.net
googleads4.g.doubleclick.net
l1.ytimg.com
www.youtube.com
googletagservices.com
googlesyndication.com
googlevideo.com
googleadservices.com
doubleclick.net
googleapis.com
These are some of the common URLs that YouTube.com also accesses. Not every YouTube.com page is the same, so adding these additional URLs to the override will let the pages render correctly. Failing to do this will make some pages not display correctly or even, stop video playback.
Set the Override Category to "custom1". - Web Filter Profile.
Go to Security Profiles -> Web Filter. Create a new Web Filter profile. In this example, it is named 'youtube_allow'. Set Inspection Mode to 'Proxy'. Under Local Categories, allow 'custom1'. Under Bandwidth Consuming, block 'Internet Radio' and 'Streaming Media and Download'. Under General Interest - Personal, do not block 'Social Media'. YouTube.com is not considered part of this environment.
CLI.
This configuration can also be set from the CLI.

Open the web page to youtube.com. URLs will match with Web Overrides... Any additional URLs under 'hostname' will also need to be added.
