Best Practice "Allow New Apps" rule is blocking an URL

L2 Linker

Hi Experts

one of our devOps guy use "Postman" and getting connection reset while using the URL" xxx.yy.api.zzzz.io/" (TCP 443)

Log shows Traffic is allowed but URL is getting blocked by the Same RULE called "Allow New App" its a default best practice rule and doesnt allow me to change the URL or add a bypass. What is the best way to overcome this ? I really dont want to add a new rule above this Best practice rule.

Are you blocking any of the categories listed under "URL Category List" on your first screenshot?

Hi @Ariq_Aziz,

The URL Category "insufficient-content" is blocked by default for best practices. I've hit this same issue in my home lab (PA-440) with various other API traffic as well as services utilizing CDNs (such as Netflix content). My suggestion would be to create a custom URL category to allow specific traffic through, so the default URL category "insufficient-content" can still block other traffic.

 

Create a Custom URL Category:
