App Patrol allowing Specific hosts on Blocked Applications

dpipro

Hello,

We are currently configuring a ZyWALL FLEX100 and need help implementing a policy with the following requirements:

• Block access to all hosts:
  • Movies and TV series platforms
  • Online games
  • YouTube
  • Social media (except for host1 - IP 192.168.1.21)
  • Online radio, TV and Spotify (except for host2 - IP 192.168.1.22)
  • WhatsApp (except for host3 - IP 192.168.1.23)

We are using Application Patrol, which works well for blocking traffic. However, we are struggling to configure exceptions per host. It seems that Application Patrol allows only blocking applications, not allowing them selectively.

How can we implement per-host exceptions for specific applications (e.g., allow WhatsApp or Spotify for only certain host while blocking it for others)? All host are identified via static IPs or DHCP reservations.

Any suggestions or examples on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @dpipro ,

Example: App Patrol with WhatsApp (excluding IP 192.168.1.23)

Create a new entry that includes WhatsApp.

Add an allow security policy for the entry.

Details of the allow security policy as below. Note: Before creating the allow security policy for WhatsApp, add an Address Object for 192.168.1.23 (Source).
