White listed website is blocked
Issues
The company policy is all the websites which are comes under social network category are blocked for all the employees but company wants to whitelist few social networking websites. We add those websites in whitelist category but still while accessing showing block template.
I want to allow our corporate website so I have done necessary configuration for whitelisting, still our employees not able to access our corporate website.
Note: Whitelist category means the category which we have to allow. Blacklist category means the category which we have to block.
