YouTube fails to play videos after adding to Allowed Domains list in CFS

RESOLUTION:

Problem

After blocking Multimedia in CFS and adding YouTube.com to the Allowed Domains users cannot play YouTube Videos.




Resolution/Workaround

Because YouTube uses other external domains to provide video content you need to add these domains to the Allowed Domains list. Once these are added users should be able to watch videos on youtube.com.

1. google.com
2. ytimg.com
3. googlevideo.com
4. gstatic.com
5. googleusercontent.com




Alternatively, you can use App rules feature on the Sonicwall to block Multimedia and allow YouTube by clicking here.
