No luck Blocking the Fortnite Video game by Epic Games
I work for a school that is requesting us to block the Fornite game from being played. However it appears using the Web Filter and reclassifying the Epicgames.com URL only solves users from browsing to that website. I am trying to block the Fortnite game from connecting to the EpicGames servers, It appears they use Amazon Web services which seems to be tricky when blocking applications. I do see that Fortinet has Epic.Games listed as an Application finally. I have blocked this under application control, now half of the students that try to play cant and the other half still can. I'm new to this stuff so this has been a fun experience.
Any one have any luck blocking this? If so what did you do to achieve this?

"Hi there! It sounds like you're dealing with a challenging situation. Blocking Fortnite can be tricky due to its connection to multiple servers, including Amazon Web Services. It's great that you've started using Fortinet to block the Epic Games application. To improve your success, consider adding specific IP ranges and implementing DNS filtering to prevent access. If you're looking for more insights on managing online gaming in schools, I found a helpful site that covers various gaming moderation strategies."
