Sonicwall TZ400 content filtering

Hello all

I created our CFS today, made three separate filters

Users

Senior Managers

IT

all users except IT are heavily restricted, the only thing that was restrcted for IT were "Weapons" - just to test

my windows account is part of IT ou in AD (aswell as other groups) I added the IT filter to IT ou in the sonicwall applied everything, logged out as sonicwall admin an tried to google "shotguns" expecting to be blocked - I was able to see search results through google, but clicking on a result gave this page

I restart my browser to retry, tried to open my homepage an got this

Can anyone tell me what's going on please?

Update

i configured the CFS as per this tutorial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIx5ku7HJDM

I disabled > Firewall > Access Rules > DNS services & Web Services

now when i try to access the internet i get

which is progress i suppose..

Now if i go to users > status. I can see client Ip addresses trying to access the firewall (for internet access) but are being denied as "Agent(s) is not ready"

I was under the impressed, that a sonic wall device could authenticate a user through AD an doesn't need the SSO installed!?
