Viewing Application Access

The Applications page in the mobile app provides a brief description of the various application categories and allows you to restrict or grant access to those applications on your employee or guest network. This page also provides details of the total data usage (in bytes), total usage percentage, and the networks for which the application category is blocked.

Due to the complexity of application fingerprinting, such as obfuscation or encryption of traffic, dynamic application behavior, and secure DNS masking of domain names, the accuracy of application classification and filtering is not guaranteed.

Viewing Applications

To view the Applications Details for a specific application category, follow these steps:

  1. Tap the Applications () tile on the Instant On home screen.
  2. Select an application category from the Applications list to view the details of the application.

    The following data is displayed for each category:

    1. Policies that control the selected category
    2. Amount of data transferred in the last 24 hours
    3. Websites and apps most visited
    4. Traffic usage per client
    5. Network access

Blocking Application Access

The Instant On mobile app allows you to set restrictions to access certain applications on basis of their category:

  1. Tap Applications on the Instant On home screen. The various application categories are displayed.
  2. Select an application category from the Applications list. The selected application category opens.
  3. Under Allow network access to this category, slide the toggle switch(es) against each employee or guest network to enable restrictions for the selected network(s) ().

If the client tries to access a website which is blocked, a notification is displayed on the screen indicating that access to the website is blocked by web policies set by the administrator.
