"All Gaming Sites" logic blocking education sites

    Just checked with our backend, all these sites are "education" sites, and are not labeled gaming.

    What happened in your case, is likely one or two sites mapping to the same IP address as a gaming site, which then is blocked.   

    One good way to check is when you visit rethinked[.]com for example, see if you get a gaming alarm, if not, then it is classified correctly.  Just the IP address was shared

    Thanks for the explanation. I figured it was probably something like that but I couldn't verify from what I can see.  Thanks again.

    A couple of our best engineers are looking at this now.   Hopefully they can come up with a better way to block

    I suggested in another thread to use target lists for Gaming, Video, etc.

    one example is that the Video block prevents acmes to Google Classroom

    Have you tried to allow these sites? usually that will get you an exception.

    I have added "Allow" rules but that is getting tedious since the schools are always adding more tools. 

    The allow rules seem to work but I can't say that with 100% certainty.
