  @JuanjoXenon is this what you're looking for? DPI-SSL needs to be enabled when HTTPS is involved.

  Without DPI-SSL, CFS (Content Filter Service) cannot look into sub-domains, e.g. sonicwall.com/news
  
  Using DPI-SSL will also help you display the sonicwall CFS block page on https sites and make security services on the firewall way more efficient, but at the same time it will impact the firewall performance and throughput.
