Why each option
Based on the configuration, "Addicting.Games" is allowed because it is explicitly permitted by an Application Overrides setting, which takes precedence over general category blocking.
FortiGate's security profiles apply rules with a specific order of precedence, where Application Overrides are processed before general category blocking. If "Addicting.Games" is explicitly configured as an Application Override to be allowed, it will bypass any broader category blocking that might otherwise apply to its category.
Filter Overrides typically refer to web filtering categories and actions, which is distinct from an application override.
Setting Filter Overrides to Exempt would allow web filtering categories, but the question specifically refers to the application "Addicting.Games" and its allowance by Application Overrides.
While categories define actions for groups of applications, Application Overrides take precedence over category settings, meaning the specific override for "Addicting.Games" dictates its allowance, not the general category action.
