Client can not connect https://www.google-analytics.com
-
I had added domain www.google-analytics.com to Allowed Hostnames but sometime client can not connect to https://www.google-analytics.com.
This is the reason I can not use google analytics for my portal.
Who can help me???!!!!! -
A site like Google uses many different random addresses from a CDN for its sites. When you set an allowed hostname, the firewall resolves the host in DNS and uses the addresses it received. When the client attempts to contact the site, it will almost certainly receive a DNS response that is different than the firewall. Since the client is attempting to contact an IP address that isn't in the allowed list, it is blocked.

Make you live easier : do not use www.google-analytics.com behind a captive portal.
And, what do you want to analyze (from client that can't connect to the net at that stadium) ?Ask also Google why it's not a good idea to use www.google-analytics.com on a portal ;)
(and they will try to make your live difficult by supplying round-robin alike IP's because Google doesn't really what you to know these IP's, because if they get DDOSsed on them then many, far to many sites will go blanc ...) -

Thank you so much.
