Application Settings

Application categories allow Umbrella to block traffic on an application basis. An application setting could be configured to block, for example, NordVPN, Netflix, and Steam. Application blocking can also be enabled on a group basis, which would allow blocking, for example, gaming, anonymizing (VPN), and shopping applications.
