Blocking windows upate and app stores

Hey guys

do you guys know how to do a quick and easy blocking of windows updates , app stores on tabs and phones ?
was thinking iptables , or maybe dns entries on linux gateway ?

doesn’t have to be clean , nice and dirty quick fix for now would also work.

client opened up wireless to guests and all they are doing is updating their equipment

Thanks guys

!

I think the surefire way would be to block everything and only open up what is allowed.

Quick & dirty?

I’d block windowsphone.com

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: windowsphone.com
Address: 207.46.1.137

Then windows updates:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

http://*.update.microsoft.com

@teejo , I can’t do that as the guests are allowed to surf and do mails as much as they want , just updates are killing their connection , torrents and all those wonderful network killers are blocked already . I’ll add these ones today and see what the difference is , thanks @InsanityFlea
