        It's difficult to impossible to achieve that unfortunately. Especially if you still want to be able to access other Google or Microsoft sites.

        You can use AS numbers in pfBlocker to create aliases to block but that will over match and blocker other sites.

        Otherwise you can probably do it using Squid with SSL interception. But that is also not without problems!

          Thanks for your reply.
          I try already to use squid, but I am facing issues with SSL interception and still can not find the right solution for it.
          I checked many posts but they did not helped.

          Any other tool?

            Only really pfBlocker like I said. Or using DNS based blocking.

              @stephenw10 opendns is free. For enterprise, Umbrella has many different pricing plans.
              Squid can work and I’ve seen it work but yeah not the most flexible solution.
              Will application based filtering ever come 🤔🤔

                It is working fine with squid now. The desired sites could be blocked.

                Thanks to all of you for your help and support.

                Have a nice lovely weekend.

                Regards
