The HTTPS Decryption is enabled, however, the issue remains.
Details
The issue occurs because facebook.com is in the Tunneled Domain List.
Remove the site from the said list to be able to successfully block HTTPS sites:
- Go to the IWSVA web console.
- Click HTTP > HTTPS Decryption > Tunneling > Failed HTTP Access.
- Uncheck Enable Auto Tunneling for Fatal Failures and then click Save.
- Go to Domain Tunneling, remove facebook.com again.
HTTPS sites should now be blocked by IWSVA.
If the issue persists, contact Trend Micro Technical Support for assistance.
