Using Knox Manage to set up per-app firewalls in Chrome

Environment

  • Knox Manage (KM)
  • Knox version*: 2.9
  • Model number: SM-N950F
  • Android version: 7.1.1
  • Google Chrome version: 66.0.3359.158

Overview

The latest Chrome version (66.0.3359.158) is using the Chromium DNS-resolution method, which overrides our addDomainFilterRules API. To fix this, you need to force Chrome to use the system's DNS-resolution. This is done by using port 53 as an argument for the Firewall prohibited policy to block Chromium DNS resolution.
