blocking facebook

[ritshakt]

I have put denied record policy in http filter to www.facebook.com and www.facebook.com/* but i found that if some one browse www.facebook.com/login page is opening and people can login and use facebook. Kindly tell me how to block full site not the home page.

When you login facebook, your browser will use http over ssl. It is https://www.facebook.com/login but not http://www.facebook.com/login
You can add a cert filter policy in https filter.
*.facebook.* -- Deny

Youtube use "*.google.com" as it's server cert. You should block cert "*.google.com" or block server ip address in https filter.

Use "* dot youtube dot com" in DNS Filter.

You tube will be blocked for both http & https
