Justin 0 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hi, How can we block external Wireless USB adapter for desktops? Since it is being detected as a network adapter, desktop users are able to connect them even if we block all devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin 0 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Why is this link being shared. It is obvious that i'm referring to ESET device control. We are in a business environment and that's the reason i'm creating it in Endpoint forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Barry 11 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hi @Justin, What version of Endpoint are you using and what version of ERA/ESMC are you using? Regards, Kieran Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what is posted in this Eset KB article: https://support.eset.com/kb2513/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US , you can't do so. It only supports USB storage devices. Nor is a USB wireless adapter considered a modem which it does support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itman 1,659 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I also really don't understand what the problem is. If the Eset firewall is properly configured, desktop users can only connect to previously defined internal network devices. Desktop users should not be able to wireless connect to devices external to the internal network defined to Eset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,069 Posted September 27, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 27, 2018 Currently it is not possible to block USB network adapters via Device Control. In case a network adapter was connected through an internal USB port, it would block Internet connection. If internal USB ports can be distinguished from external ports in the future, it could be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
