Unblock specific YouTube video

[Mohamed_b]

Hello,

I'm seeking a solution to unblock a specific YouTube video. Currently, when I attempt to bypass my rule using the video link, it is blocked by the next rule that restricts the YouTube application.

HTTPS inspection is activated, and it bypassed in the reject logs.

Checkpoint support states that you can only allow all YouTube content or block all YouTube content.

Any assistance on how to specifically unblock a single YouTube video would be greatly appreciated.

I know for a fact there is a way to do this, Im 100% positive. I know one way to see what has to be whitelisted is if you try go to that video, just hit F12 and see what fqdn is exactly being blocked.

Hope that helps.

Best,

Andy

Hi,

You can try to put URL Filtering and use Regex to block the specific URL from the youtube

They want to unblock, NOT block it.

Unfortunately, it’s not feasible to do.
The reason being is while you can allow a specific URL, the resulting page loads a lot of other resources that would also have to be unblocked for that specific resource…
It would be much easier to provide an alternate source for the same video.
