Game blocking/filtering

Hi Per-OlofLitby 

Just to confirm, have you attempted utilizing our Application Filter to block or bandwidth throttle these gaming applications?

Best,

Yes. Been struggling with this for a long time. I've posted twice before but got nowhere so I decided to start from scratch and ask again.

Would it be possible to please enable the support access tunnel and PM me with the support ID so I can further assist?

Thanks,

I forgot to add that the rule does block the web pages but not actual game traffic. But the reason given is a little bit strange:

Hi,

the reason is not strange, you have block unrecognised protocols ticked in the WEB tab.

If you want to block games you need to add the XG CA to all devices and  setup web and application rules. You can also add time constraints to the firewall rules the allow access to the games.

You will also need to implement static type IP addressing and clienteles users to lock devices to specific firewall rules.
