pipboy3000 3 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hello, I have tried to use URL address management to block spotify website. I've added the url to the list of blocked URLs, applied changes, even rebooted PC, but still https://www.spotify.com/uk/ loads with no problem whatsoever. Any suggestions? Screen shots attached. Config Website Thanks, pipboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,290 Posted November 15, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 15, 2014 One more thing, you didn't put an asterisk at the end. Try adding *spotify.com* to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arakasi 549 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Hello, Yes it worked, thanks a lot. I've also discovered that there is a music player from spotify. Anyone knows how to block the app that is locally installed??? Create a general firewall rule, and select the application. Anything it does regarding network activity will be blocked. If you want to block things like disk activity, program interaction, launching, etc. You will create a HIPS rule, select the application, and officially select the functions you do not wish the application to carry out. Get back with us if you need assistance with a HIPS rule. Edited November 17, 2014 by Arakasi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 @Arakasi But I think there is a problem with this - the software must already be installed (and I don't think that this is the case in his situation), because you have to select the application. However you can of course create a firewall rule to block the spotify servers (for all programs), but you have to discover first what servers this are.

Arakasi 549 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 netstat while using, i dunno i dont think the software has to be installed if you create it using a path before its installed, knowing the path of the app will be another thing tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
