Bagpuss66 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Has anyone managed to block students listening to Amazon Music previews on the Amazon websites on the Palo Alto. Students are blocked from signing in and purchasing music or downloading tracks but they still can listen to the 30 second explicit previews, which can be a problem in a classroom! Any Ideas?
FishCustard Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Without knowing any specifics about Palo Alto, could you find out where they are served from (go to the page, use the Inspector/dev tools to find the URL) and just block that?

We tried this, but it seems to have different URL's for each music artist.
FishCustard Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Is there a pattern? e.g. cdn1.amazonwhatever.com, cdn2, etc.

Davit2005 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) What application in Palo are you using to block, have you tried blocking the application Amazon-Music? Edited June 14, 2019 by Davit2005
Bagpuss66 Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 What application in Palo are you using to block, have you tried blocking the application Amazon-Music? This is blocked as well, looks like we might have to contact Palo Alto.

Palo Alto should be able to help you with that if you can provide them with a packet capture. You can do it yourself if you're feeling keen - https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/7-1/pan-os-admin/app-id/create-a-custom-application

I had a feeling we may have to do this. Thank you.
