Youtube getting falsely recognized as google

L2 Linker

Shortly, after the APP-ID changes were implemented, I'm having problems with youtube.  By default we disable general access to youtube.  However, we do allow access to specific videos.  When I attempt to connect to youtube.com using http, I get blocked properly.  But when I go to it using https. I pretty much have free run, and when I review the logs, https access to yourtube is catagorized as google-base, instead of youtube-base.  Anybody else run into something like that?

Are you using SSL Decryption? 

Have you tried blocking using URL categories/ URL Filtering?

Withiout SSL Decryption PA cannot see the requested URLs and will use the information writen in the certificate. Youtube uses *.google.com in its certificate therefore it will be recognised as google. Implementig SSL Decryption should solve your issues.
