How To Block the Spotify Music Streaming Service

This is an example of using a ZyWALL/USG IDP Profile to block DNS query packet.

When the Spotify software launches, it will send a DNS query for Spofity's public

server. In this example, you can create a custom IDP to block DNS query packet

if this packet includes the Spotify signature.
