Yes. You can apply different policy for different locations.  However, you can monitor the logs under Monitor> Logs > Network Threat Protection and Attacks/Packets.

Hello NTC
First of all if you write questions in forum you can take fast reply :)
you can create locations. and each locations have got diffrent firewall policy. for your laptop users you can create 2 rules. one of them "in office" rule another is "out of office rule"
therefore the user cannot access www.examplesite.com in company but when he go to home the location will change and sep firewall rule will change automaticly.
Best Regards.

Is a good article :)
By the way how we can monitor it ? Or pull the report from the firewall or ips where we block the site from SEPM ?

You can also use Intrusion Prevention Signatures. Just create a customized signature. Please see the image below. Inser this line in the content:
rule tcp, dest=(80,8080), msg="Accessing Google Website", content=www.google.com
