URL filtering not working as expected

Arthur_DENIS1 — Sat, 04 May 2019 20:15:24 GMT

Hi,

I got an issue with URL filtering blade.

The website "leboncoin.fr" is blocked, due to a categorisation as "high risk" - not normal.

But on the URLCAT - https://urlcat.checkpoint.com/urlcat/main.htm - it is categorized as shopping as expected.

App control & URL database are up to date of course.

Please see screenshot.

Someone already get this type of error ?

Thanks,
Arthur

I'll ask Threat Operations about it, but may want to open a TAC case.

Hi,

Thanks!

However, I can't open a case as this appliance is not covered, it's a lab/poc/test appliance only.

There is no production impact, this is not really critical, but I'm curious about this behavior, and I would like to know about this issue before getting the same problem in a production environment 🙂

TL;DR is that it's an incorrect classification--we will fix.
