Use custom category in SSL Exclusion

[bspdegh]

Hey, i'd like to add a 3rd party custom category to Exclusions / Domain Categories. That way i could define domains to exclude from ssl inspection for all policies at all, unfortunately i can only select built in categories there. Is there any way to implement that?

Hello, out of the box custom categories for exclusions are not supported (they are supported for blocking though). It is possible to still implement this but with some manual work required.

The idea is to use the Admin UI / Web Filter / Definitions / Customs Apps - provide your own custom all definition (like excluded app) and add the required domains to that app. Then exclude that app from UI / Squid / Global Exclusions / by App. Format is JSON like in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diladele/definitions/refs/heads/main/var/spool/apps/default_ai/apps.json

Note the updated app list will only be rendered into exclude config after Save and Restart - so some kind of additional auto restart script will need to be executed after /etc/cron.d/websafety_update script.
