Circle cannot effectively block VPN service.
The Circle software cannot effectively blcok the VPN service after I set "VPN & Proxies" not allowed. My kid still can use VPN to play games or visiting game sites.

Re: Circle cannot effectively block VPN service.
Hi Christian,
I have reached out to Brightcloud to have them add or change their categories and a lot of the time they refuse stating it is classified correctly which is why Circle a lot of the time won't work.
I do have an additional question on this. If I go into my RBR50 Orbi router under block services, and select your defaults of VPN-IPSEC, VPN-L2TP, VPN-PPTP, IPsec, and then add some addition ones such as tcp/udp ports 1194 that should prevent any VPN from being established but it does not. Is this a known issue that the option is there but it doesn't work? I am on version V2.5.2.4
Thanks in advance,
