Hello Salah Ghalloussi,

If you are using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, I would suggest to you to take a look of web protection and content filtering capabilities, for more details:

• Defender for Endpoint - Web protection
• Defender for Endpoint - Web content filtering

@Salah Ghalloussi, Thanks for posting in Q&A. For the Remote address setting, it only accepts some specific format value. If you want to block the inbound or outbound from one domain, you can enter the IP address or range of the domain you want to block.

Hope the above information can help.

What if. I wanted to block https://gemini.google.com/app but not google.com. Does it stay granular to the subdomain only? I want to stop people from using Bar/Gemini on office PCs.

Thanks all! I hope someone will answer soon.
