Struggling with game blocking

Greetings

 

I'm trying to block access to game sites (e.g. steam, origin games, battle-net and so on) during certain hours for a specific user. I have set up as follows:

Schedule

Web Policy

Firewall rule (at top)

 

 

But this doesn't seem to accomplish anything. Nothing is being blocked. The firewall log shows no traffic for this rule. When looking at live connections I see nothing obviously identified as known game sites, just a lot of traffic to the amazonaws.com domain. If that is games traffic, how do I trap it?

What is actually in the predefined categories "games and gambling" and are they up to date?

  • Hi.

    that rule will not stop anything. You will need to at least implement http scanning. I am trying to understand what you have in the GAMES cat setting. I find the games and gambles works well for most sites. Classification being correct of course.

    Also change your destination zone to be any otherwise the rule only applies to your WAN IP address range.

    More edits, please tick the NAT box.

  • The Games category is the predefined one.
