Blocked IM protocol still connecting

stevenhemelaere
Ever since i use Astaro (from 7.401 up to 7.480), I have chosen "Block completely" for Tencent_QQ and Oscar.

However, each day i see in the Daily Executive Report that there are several hundred connections made (see screenshot).

How am i to interpret this?

Edit:

Added screenshot of IM Control Status

    Apparently the application isn't doing what you think it is supposed to. It's not surprising that file-sharing applications don't lock themselves down to specific ports or behave. Their whole goal is to bypass filtering/blocking so that they can get to the Internet and "share". 

    Makes you feel safe, don't it? Either way, I think you've found your culprit.
