Proxy Avoidance and Anonymizer Category

[networkguy64512]

I am trying to block the well-known vpn proxies and services on Meraki MX, so I tried the Proxy Avoidance and Anonymizer category for Content Filtering on the Meraki MX with Advanced Security first. URL category list size is set to Full List.

Then I did a quick google search on top 10 vpn services. Each one of those websites opened with no issues (which I was expecting to fail to connect). 

Then I used the Meraki URL Category Lookup Tool results and noticed all those are categorized as "Computer and Internet Security"

How come? Am I missing something here?

It's not what you would expect, is it.

The URL categorization is a service provided by BrightCloud.  It is used by Meraki and many other vendors.

I guess you could regard a VPN service as "Internet Security" - I guess it depends on your view point.
