blocking netflix application instead of url

[MP18]

currently i am blocking al the urls to netflix.

so when user access the website they get message blocked due to  url

on cli i see PA has to do some processing in order to block the url .

if i block the application netflix instead of url  that will redice the cpu processing on the PA right?

@MP18,

The overhead for looking at URLs is pretty small, and you're honestly already doing it as part of the normal firewall processes anyways. I wouldn't expect a noticable decrease no matter what you trigger on, URL or application.

Thanks for confirming that.
