Hello @Yasindu99 ,

 

You can block AnyDesk with İnternet Services instead of application control. Therefore, it cannot connect to anydesk servers and the external connection will not work. However, the local connection will continue to work.

 

All you need to do is create a rule that includes the Anydesk Internet service in the destination field and place it above the Internet rule.Of course, if the computers that will be connecting are not in the same subnet, you will need to write a rule for them.
