Block spotify p2p windows firewall




















Now that we have created a match object of what we need to block, let's create a App Rules policy to define who will be blocked. When hosts behind the SonicWall get blocked or when their action triggers a policy based on the App Control policies, SonicWall will log them in either of the following formats, depending on whether Log using App Control message format is checked or not:.

For firewalls that are generation 6 and newer we suggest to upgrade to the latest general release of SonicOS 6. YES NO. Main Menu. Solutions Image Widgets. Partners Image Widgets. I'm not sure how the Spotify client sends requests. I've been trying to see if I can find my Spotify requests in Wireshark. Looks like it uses port on the distant end so you could put in a filter for that port and block connections to that port on M-F.

There is the and 80 traffic too but I think you have that covered could be wrong. Travis: I did. I believe part of the problem is the initial client install happens on port 80 because you have to browse to the website, however the P2P connection happens on a range of ports which bypasses the HTTP proxy service.

That is why blocking the IP range used by Spotify was the only way I could find to block streaming, a blocked IP address is always blocked so I cannot configure the firewall to allow the connection on a specific day. I can't test at my client location I like my job so I was going off of web questions asking how to configure a firewall to allow the connection. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question.

Get answers from your peers along with millions of IT pros who visit Spiceworks. It sends all the good stuff through the proxy though, I then had to block any other traffic with a desktop firewall myself :. Spotify seems to support command line switches, although they are undocumented there might be some interesting functionality hidden away and who knows maybe we can turn off sharing?

My final thought is editing the settings manually. Spotify has a settings file, it seems to be a simple JSON format so if we knew the names of hidden options we could change the settings there. Either way, I have no idea where this elusive option is. Get searching and report back! Well, Spotify has a cache of files, presumably for use with the P2P sharing. If we could clear that cache or somehow disable it perhaps this could break P2P sharing? Perhaps this could be set to 0 manually?
