Can we filter a specific youtube channel on Untangle?

[danshady]

Is it possible to filter a specific youtube channel on Untangle without blocking all of youtube or using the application filtering to filter based on category?

I am guessing to do this I would need some of the various URLs that would be used to access a channel. So here are a few possible examples I'm thinking I would need to consider all for the same example channel:

* Channel Id (h**ps://w**.youtube.com/channel/UCk6qykvBpLDwzgXeD8l_uMA)
* Main video playlist (h**ps://w**.youtube.com/c/DavidsTV/videos)
* A Search for the channel (h**ps://w**.youtube.com/results?search_query=davidstv)

This is all SSL, so I figure this will involve SSL Inspector as well. Assuming this can be done, how would one set this up for my example above?

I did some research on this May last year. This was my results. Things may have changes. May help anyway

Unblock individual videos

Youtube have changed their backend since I posted how to unblock a channel in the Untangle forums in 2018

However as long as SSL inspection is in play, a single video can be whitelisted by allowing these 4 urls.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE
googlevideo.com/videoplayback*
*youtube.com/s/player/*
youtube.com/yts

For additional videos only the actual video url needs to be added as the last 3 are generic

e.g.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YGk89DKP8Y


Other suggested videos still appear down the side but are blocked.



Unblock a playlist

Cool way to unblock videos in bulk

Create an account

Create a playlist and add in other people's video

Each playlist has an unique guid

So in webfilter allow guid with wildcard e.g. *PLsuZFqj3lCFesPQIKDdE1iSHzL8mZfEYU*
(as well as other 3 x generic youtube player unblocks)

Then you can provide a link to video via playlist and it will play e.g.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyeL...mZfEYU&index=2

Plays because has matching guid in url.

User can see and play any other video in playlist.

Other suggested videos on side are blocked.
