    Hi there.

    Think of how the connection is made, and the data transport.

    I expect he Sophos would see all of the data usage as being from the computer, and on a pure packet flow issue, would be difficult to distinguish from the data used by the computer.

     

    You could try looking at setting up some application filters, and filtering out common Phone only apps.

     

    I assume that the computers have Wifi installed. So if you are not using the Wifi in the computer to connect to the lan then group policy to disable the Wifi

    If you need the wifi in the computers, then group policy or registry entries to disable the wifi sharing.
