Block Facebook videos
-
Hi there, Hope you are all fine and doing good, I want help regarding blocking Facebook videos using pfblockerNG. I want to allow users to access Facebook, but block the video streaming on Facebook. Is there any way to do it using pfblockerNG. I would really appreciate if someone helps.

Unless you know for sure the subdomain Facebook uses for video, it won't happen...in fact, I almost certain its an app within their TLD.

@ammar177 pfSense doesn't have the ability to block on an app bases using L7 app.id.
If this is a home lab there is no way.
If this is a professional setting you should look at endpoint software solutions that are better able to handle this.edit: pfSense pfblocker is a sledgehammer to a nail. Blocking ASNs will work. Either put those clients on a different VLAN where you can apply that firewall deny OR using pfblocker create an ASN alias where you could block those devices on a per IP bases based on your firewall rules. There isnt an elegant way of solving your issue.

I was also looking for a solution to this. Looking for a way to block just tictok videos, but keep Facebook running again it's all under Facebook's domain so you can't have one without the other. Alot of tedious fine tuning and I am sure you could find away with certificates installed but devices that are running splice or transparent would not see the specifics.
