Fortunately I have a cisco router and enough knowledge to block the 17.0.0.0/8 ip address range.
This combined with an openvpn vpn will block all apple services from my devices.
So basically my internet will look like this:
Internet <---> CISCO <---> ASUS ROUTER with openvpn <-> Network
The cisco router will block the 17.0.0.0/8 ip address range and I will use spotify on all my computers.
- brian_herman 5y agoDisregard comment I don't want to edit it because I am lazy. You can do all of this inside the asus router underneath the routes page just put this inside the asus router: Ip address 17.0.0.0 Subnet 255.0.0.0 Destination 127.0.0.1

- brian_herman 5y agoI have openvpn so the block will remain in effect. I don't plan to use apple services ever again but the hard ware is pretty good.
- loser777 5y agoDoes this mean you are attempting to use an IP range block to avoid this "service" while continuing to use Apple hardware? How does such a block deal with say, Apple software conveniently "routing-around" what appears to be an "authoritarian government's firewall?"
- verygoodname 5y agoAnd then they switch to using Akamai or AWS IP space (like Microsoft does), so you start blocking those as well?
