Safe Search issues?
I've enabled the Safe Search option for all devices on our home network and we are finding it's blocking many random sites that have nothing inappropriate on them. For example on youtube it's blocking: Home remodeling, home design, religious, sermons, etc.. It became so disruptive that we had to disable it for our family.
Are there known issues with this feature at this time?
thanks

Hi Wayne
Good observations.
The safe search function is really something that's provided by the provider, such as google, youtube ... What firewalla does is transparently enables that function for you to use and ensures once that function is enabled, the devices will always use safe search.
The content filtering part is not done by us, but by google or youtube directly. Meaning, google or youtube will do the filtering. So the content you see is wrongly classified is what google been doing.
From our experience, turning on safe search for everyone is not a good idea ... safe search fit better for kid's devices
