How to Block Google Play Store by Router Rule

Is there a way to block access to the google play store by a firewall rule? I'm trying to block access to the play store from our Wifi.

1.Click "Start | Control Panel | System and Security | Windows Firewall."

2.Select "Advanced Settings." Click "Inbound Rules" to block an inbound port; click "Outbound Rules" to block an outbound port.

3.Select "New Rule." Choose "Port" from the options and then click "Next."

4.Choose "TCP" or "UDP," depending on which protocol the port uses. Click "Specific Local Ports."

5.Enter the port number or numbers into the available field; separate multiple numbers with a comma (e.g., "80, 20, 443"). Click "Next."I think port 5228 is used for Google Playstore.

6.Click "Block the Connection," then "Next." Choose which network location or locations – public, private or domain – the rule applies to and then click "Next."

7.Create a name for the rule and enter an optional description. Click "Finish" to block the ports on the computer.
