Re: how to block p2p

Hello,

	From my experience and depending on how anal you would like to get. I setup a
firewall with IPTABLES blocking all connections / traffic types and then
allowed:

port 22 out
port 21 out 
connections made by the squid UID 

I then used squid to block almost all traffic except for http. No MSN, AOL, ICQ
,... over http. No streaming audio, video (except for Microsoft training).

It cut our bandwidth usage is have which saved the company over $400 a month.

Michael.
