Nebula - Block applications with Application Patrol (App Patrol)

In some cases, it is more suitable to use Application patrol instead of Content filtering. For example, applications like Netflix or Spotify may use multiple domains. Therefore content filtering may fail to block all websites containing this application. App patrol works well in the same scenario since it inspects all traffic content (regardless of domain) and looks for application patterns. 

 

Navigate to: 

Site-wide > Configure > Firewall > Security Services

scroll down to find the Application patrol section and click the add button.
