Blocking application "Google Analytics"

Hi,

I can't block google analytics.

The application is assigned to a firewall rule, but nothing is getting blocked.

Has someone actually tried to block it too?

  • Hi to all interested in blocking analytics and trackers,

    I blocked those domains concerning privacy with the following workaround:

    Create a new web category with type objectionable and upload a domain-list for web proxies to it - in this case I used the "tracker"-list from http://www.shallalist.de to block not only Google Analytics but also ~1100 other domains/IPs. The category could then be added to any web policy as a block action.

    It works really well so far and doesn't seem to have a noticeable performance impact.

    Best Regards
