Block google drive App desktop
-
Hello !
I want to block google drive desktop (Upload & Download).
I could block the drive.google.com domain with squid Server but it is still open to connect to google drive through desktop app.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,

If you just want to prevent connecting to drive.google.com one option is to add a host override in DNS Resolver to point it to 127.0.0.1 or some other IP. Though you might also have to block DNS over HTTP to get browsers to use your DNS.

Why do you want to block it is perhaps a better question?
The only real way to block that entirely is prevent people installing it rather than trying to block access at the firewall.

Block all of Google via it's ASN in pfBlockerNG
Then white list the parts of google you actually want access toUnfortunately to white list the part you want to allow access to, pfsense needs a "Alias" with history sufficiently long to cover cached version of DNS results in clients.

I am using pfSense VM Version 2.6.0-RELEASE -
I could now to block the google drive desktop to connect to Internet.
Through squid block list --- added
accounts.google.com
drive.google.com
docs.google.comSo the user can not sing in and the client can not be used, even if the user installed it.
