Hi! Im struggling to construct a proper whatsapp rule. Have 3 different lines to catch all the traffic since with only one it was impossible.
The first rule is destination "Meta-Whatsapp", nothing else since no service can be elected using that way.
Then have to create a second rule to catch TCP & UDP 3478, since have a lot of blocks without that one.
Finally, have to add whatsapp_com and _net wildcard. No much traffic on that one but have to add it.
Im running FortiGate 7.4 with all licenses.
Thanks to all!
HI, @el_kily
Can you be more specifiy are you trying to block the whatsapp ? Is that whatsapp application or web based whatsapp ?
It´s the application, sorry not to mentionate it.
@el_kily what type of control are you trying to do for WhatsApp?
like, block uploading the image or block voice call etc ?
The goal is to a unique rule or at least, a best practice to enable this service, instead of having a bunch of rule.
This fortigate has application control among others licenses.
