Facebook application block on mobile devices

L1 Bithead

Hello All,

 

I want to block facebook and other social media applications on mobile devices. After enabling url filtering its been blocked in web browsers but still accessible on mobile application.

 

I have also configured quic and facebook application base block rule. But still applications are accessible.

Warm Regards,

Hi @S.Jain712678 
I think, enabling traffic decryption might help at some level to block this, but I am not sure if all your mobile devices are MDM managed in order to push the certificates on the mobile devices. Additional point I am think of is, check the traffic from mobile devices and verify what all URLs/domains it is hitting when Facebook is accessed from mobile application. It might be hitting multiple domains/URLs at backend. So this will also help to put control on the access. 

 

Hope it helps!
