        Create firewall rules to block the following ports:

        In order for Viber Desktop to run on your computer, the following ports must be open:
        TCP: 5242 and 4244
        UDP: 5243 and 9785

        Reference: https://support.viber.com/customer/portal/articles/1506350-opening-ports-for-viber-desktop

        And yes, I realize the article specifically mentions Viber Desktop. However other posts/articles elsewhere say that the same ports are used in the mobile apps.

        The S in IOT stands for Security
