Scope

FortiGate version 7.0+.

Solution

To understand how Video filtering is: FortiGate / FortiOS 7.0.0 > New Features > Video Filtering

Unlike web filters, channels /categories are allowed or blocked based on the default action in the video channel filter. The default action is defined under the following commands:

# config videofilter youtube-channel-filter
edit 1
set name "test"
set default-action monitor
end

If default action is allowed, the following action is taken:
Default action allow + entries action allow = allow by entries action.
Default action allow + entries do not match = allow by default action.
Default action allow + entries action monitor = block by category.
Default action allow + entries action block = block by entries action.

If default action is monitored, the following action ise taken:
Default action monitor + entries action allow = allow by entries action.
Default action monitor + entries not matched = block by category.
Default action monitor + entries action monitor = block by category.
Default action monitor + entries action block = block by entries action.

If the default action is blocked, the following action is taken:
Default action block + entries action allow = allow by entries action.
Default action block + entries not matched = block by default action.
Default action block + entries action monitor = block by category.
Default action block + entries action block = block by entries action.
