Having trouble with captcha loading, whitelisting www.google.com seemed to resolve it as www.google.com/recaptcha didnt work. Is there a way to block google.com/search but not google-base?

Hi @rlambright ,
Filtering on a full URL path like "live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/bd-p/members_discuss" isn’t possible unless SSL decryption is enabled. Without decryption, the fw relies on the Server Name Indication (SNI) field within the TLS hello to identify the base domain "live.paloaltonetworks.com".
I've found that if you're organization requires the granularity, SSL decryption is optimal. If you're not wanting to go full-on ssl decryption, you could try messing around with URL categories and set search-engines to block. However, this might block more traffic than intended and might include some google-base traffic...
