Reject Downloading for VPN Connections

Patrick Coy

Per our security agreement with a partner, we are in the Entertainment Industry, anyone on that project cannot have Internet access or the ability to download files while connected to the VPN. I have a working Reject Firewall Rule that disables Internet access when connected; however, I cannot figure out how to Deny/Reject the downloading of files...?

Thank you,

Patrick

    I need to add some clarification; the goal is to block users from downloading data from the company storage to the user's home computer when connected via VPN. 

    This is the note from our partner in regards to their requirements:

    • Remote Access – Ideally, remote workers would access content over remote desktop using an encrypted VPN with multi-factor authentication (MFA). This would ensure no files were handled outside of the facilities network (e.g. Artists could not have assets locally on their machines, all assets stay on facility infrastructure).  Logging should be enabled to track as much activity as possible

    VPN with MFA has been implemented and works great. I have a Firewall Rule that blocks Internet access for certain users when connected to the VPN. Logs are easy enough to get to. The only remaining issue is preventing users from downloading off of the company storage to their home workstation.
