Question:
Is a license required to block streaming sites?

Answer:
To block streaming sites, we suggest you use App Patrol and Content Filtering. Application Patrol license and Web Filtering license are required.

  • App Patrol: You can use App Patrol to block specific applications like BBC iPlayer. Create an application object for the streaming service and then create an App Patrol profile to drop or reject traffic.
  • Content Filter: To block HTTPS traffic using the forbidden website list, a Content Filter license is required. The content filter will not work once the license has expired.

Gold Security Pack includes Web Filtering, Anti-Malware, Application Patrol, IPS, Reputation Filter, SecuReporter, Secure WiFi, Device Insight, Sandboxing, Security Profiles Sync, and Nebula Professional Pack.
