RE: Exclude "by application" for IPS and Web filtering? Is it possible? (Network visibility)

Yes, thank you. I tried that method but I noticed that Steam actually was using the 60,000 port range to download games. Steam also uses port 80 to download games too, so I won't be adding port 80 to any service definition.

I will just have to tweak my rules until I get better speeds.

However all of the IP addresses that Steam downloads from are "valve.net" domains. I'll continue to look for ways to create a definition for any IPs coming from "valve.net" as a source network.

Hello alan weir,

Thank you for reaching out to the community, I believe the best option will be to use the second option :"Using these services" and then you can "Add the service definition" for steam.
