Web rating override using custom categories

Web rating overrides allow you to add specific URLs to custom web ratings categories.

In a web filter profile, you can configure the action for each category. See Restricting web usage using FortiGuard URL categories and URL filter for details. If a URL is in multiple categories, custom categories take precedence over FortiGuard categories.

For example, consider that you add www.gambling.com is added to a custom category and set the custom category action to Block. The default action for the FortiGuard Gambling category is Monitor. When a user browses to www.gambling.com, the custom category action takes precedence over the FortiGuard category, so access to www.gambling.com is blocked.

1. Go to Configuration > Security > Profile resources > Custom Web Filter categories.
2. Create a custom category:
   1. Click Create Custom Category.
   2. In the URLs field, enter the desired URL. In this example, it is www.gambling.com.
   3. Configure other fields as desired.
   4. Click OK.

      

3. Go to Profiles.
4. In the Web Filter With Inline-CASB widget, click Customize.
5. Under FortiGuard Category Based Filter > Custom Categories, select the newly created category, then select the desired action. In this example, it is Block.
6. Click OK.
