Hello, community,

I'm working on refining our company's network policies and have run into a specific issue I'm hoping to get some advice on. It appears one of our staff members was accessing this game during their break time, from this source:

While I'm not against breaks, my concern is more from a network security and resource management perspective, especially when dealing with applications from unofficial sources like this.

Core Issue & Concerns

My primary goal is to ensure our business network remains secure and efficient. The introduction of apps from untrusted developers presents a few potential problems:

• Bandwidth Management: High-bandwidth applications can slow down critical business operations.

• Security Vulnerabilities: Unofficial app versions can potentially contain malware or create security backdoors.

• Productivity: While this was during a break, we want to have a clear policy and the tools to enforce it if it becomes a wider issue.

Observed Behavior on our TP-Link Setup

I've isolated the device and noticed some unusual traffic patterns when the app is active. It's nothing definitively malicious yet, but it's causing intermittent latency spikes that I can't easily trace with standard tools. We are running a full Omada setup with an ER605 router and EAP670 access points.

Questions for the Community

I would be grateful for any insights from other business users or network admins on how you handle this.

• What are the best practices for blocking specific mobile applications using the Omada Controller's features?

• Has anyone successfully created URL filtering or access control rules that are effective against these types of constantly changing sources?

• Are there any specific settings within the TP-Link ecosystem to better monitor or flag this kind of non-standard application traffic?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
