Are you using NAT ?

If you are using NAT, that will be the case. Your Client PC does a DNS lookup, which travels through WinGate DNS, but the client gets the DNS response and then uses that to connect to the IP address, not the name. Hence, all WinGate sees is the IP address.

If you want to see the names / URLs, switch on Intercepts / Transparent Redirection for the WWW Proxy Service. This will push your NAT traffic on port 80 through the WWW Proxy Service, which will then show you the appropriate URL. This gives you the added benefit of using the more advanced WWW Proxy Service policies, as well as having access to Data Scanning Plugins, etc.
