Hello

How to block Teamviewer Incoming request from Branch ([style="background-color: #ffff99;"]One-way only[/style]), so that Head Office user can still connect to remote Branch ?

TeamViewer consist of 3 signatures:

- Teamviewer Application

- Teamviewer CallReceive

- Teamviewer CallRequest

 

I created a policy Incoming: WAN, Outgoing: Internal LANs and Blocked "Teamviewer CallReceive" Only, it does not block !

I created a policy Incoming: WAN, Outgoing: Internal LANs and Blocked the above 3 signatures , it does not block !

 

Thanks

    As I understand it the Teamviewer client installs (if told to) a service on a client device and periodical "calls home", so it makes an outbound connection (e.g. from LAN -> WAN).  This link explains what ports are used by Teamviewer. 

     

    And if I understand this, the Teamviewer clients establishes a connect to each other via a server (management connection).  So you may need to rethink your approach to blocking this traffic.

    Thank you Dave.

    I should consider other approach to the One-Way only blocking as you said.

    Guys, you input is still appreciated if someone come across similar need or would suggest a hint :)
