Application Filter
The Application Filter can detect and block apps like Facebook, Netflix, Snapchat, and many others. The app uses deep packet (DPI) and SSL certificate analysis provided by the Netify Application Detection Engine to categorize and block dozens of applications and web sites. Take control of your network and avoid those significant productivity drains in the workplace and/or time-wasters at home.
