        The L7 pattern probably doesn't work because the traffic is encrypted now (HTTPS). As with most Google services, blocking by IP isn't very useful.

        If you have (or can force) control over the DNS used by clients, use Google's suggestion from here:

            You can't match it with an L7 pattern if it's encrypted.

                Start a new thread for that since it's unrelated to this topic. There are answers out there for that already though.
