Hi guys,
I am unable to block the Hoxx VPN extension on firefox. I followed the Application filter recommended settings for better application detection (https://soph.so/WtpQzU). The application uses port 80/443 for VPN servers. Sophos XGS is unable to block the VPN.
Web Filter:
Hoxx vpn is available in firefox as well. I have submitted a request for Squid Proxy IPS signature.
IPS is unable to block Hoxx VPN though. Already tested.
I don't rely on IPS, i have both web and application policies that block all stuff I want to block vpns and tunnels along sites I consider annoying and of no value.

Sorry, I meant application control. Application control is unable to block Hoxx VPN. Application control uses Snort IPS OpenAppID to block applications.
Restart and again this steps given below
It is a good idea to disable VPN’s on your browsers if you are concerned about a VPN. You shouldn’t allow your Opera or Firefox browser to be configured to use a VPN.The second thing you should do is uninstall applications that have VPN’s installed. Many anti-virus programs have VPN’s embedded.3 – Block all VPN traffic from your network.
This may help you,

Hi Rachel,
I don't own the end client devices so I can't allow/disallow VPN apps and extensions they use on their device. I am already blocking all VPN traffic from the network.
"Non-SSL/TLS traffic on port 443" and "VPN Over 443" application signatures are broken. Fixing them will fix this issue.
