We need to block some websites (Facebook and YouTube) in transparent mode. It’s possible to block websites in transparent mode. We are using Thin Client machines (Windows, Ubuntu).

We are using domain controller for user management

Yes, it’s possible with the Web Content Filter:

You may work with filter categories too. You may block “Social_Networks”:

It doesn’t work when you are logged into facebook or also when you are not logged-in?

It works all that you block in the filter of the web content filter.

You have to dismark Block HTTP and HTTPS ports.Proxy
