Opera Mini Simulator

[Chris_Rowan]

Does anyone have a fix for blocking access to and/or use of the Opera Mini Simulator?

There' s an app control " Opera.Mini.Socks" . http://www.fortiguard.com/encyclopedia/application/opera.mini.socks.html

Thank you for replying. I enabled the app signature and applied it to the profile, but I can still google " opera mini simulator" and get to the page with the embedded code. I can also still use the actual simulator to bypass web filtering.

Try blocking access to the below IP address:

 C:\>nslookup demo.opera-mini.net
 Server:  dns1.xxx.com
 Address:  192.168.0.254
 
 Non-authoritative answer:
 Name:    p09-15.opera-mini.net
 Address:  195.189.142.176
 Aliases:  demo.opera-mini.net
 
 
 C:\>
 

By the way, thanks for the web site tip. It works fine for blocking over here.
