Way to prevent VPN/Proxy bypass Meet Circle

We know the function “Not Allowed" VPN/Proxy is a gimmick. The Orbi apps shows few devices connect to WIFI router. The meet circle also shows sites these devices visited. Whenever we pause the device from device lists in Circle apps. The history still shows visited sites in history log as no pause of WIFI access at all. The VPN/Proxy uses to circumvent any restriction on WIFI router.

We need to block service the only solution I need to apply to the Orbi Mesh is closed all router PORT used by VPN, Proxy, SSH, IPsec…

Here is the list of ports you may consider blocking access depend on your need.

HTTPS (TLS/SSL) – 443 UDP

HTTP – 80 UDP

OpenVPN – 1194 TCP/UDP

PPTP – 1723 TCP/UDP

L2TP – 1701 UDP

SSTP – 443 UDP

Cisco IPsec – 1293 TCP/UDP, 500 TCP/UDP

IPsec/IKEv2 (Internet Key Exchange) – 500 TCP/UDP

IPsec Nat Traversal – 4500 UDP

SSH tunnel – port 22

SOCKS proxy – 1080 TCP

BitTorrent – 6881-6889 TCP

SMTP – 25 TCP/UDP

DNS – 53 UDP
