High bandwidth consumption in block App Control

CVB1 · ‎09-01-2023

Good morning, I have 1 user who has Facebook blocked but I see a lot of bandwidth consumption, shouldn't I not have that consumption when being blocked? Attached capture.

Thanks

Hello,

Please share the FortiOS version, CLI Output of Application Control Profile, and the firewall Policy to which this application control is applied.

Best regards,

Hello,

Can you please check application control logs only for this single user and check blocked data sent/receive bytes for 24 hours and provide screenshot.

Thank you

Hi @CVB1,

I tried to replicate blocking Facebook using application control and flow-based policy.

I was able to see similar sent and received data bytes as yours. So, It doesn't seem to be an unexpected output.

Below are screenshots of my lab replication logs:
