      I've found plenty of info on how to do this with an iptables firewall, but am not sure how to change this into something I can use with pfsense, any input?

      Here is the syntax for iptables:

      iptables -A INPUT -p tcp –dport $YOURTORRENTPORT –tcp-flags RST RST -j DROP
      ipfw add deny tcp from any to any YOURTORRENTPORT in tcpflags rst

        This is not traffic shaping related.
        The pf rule would be something as:

        block in quick on $int proto tcp from any to any port $TORRENTPORT flags R/SARF

          thanks for the move, I wasn't too sure on where it should go.

          Also thanks for the idea, I'll give that a go and see what it does for me

          maybe I'm just dense, but I can't find how/where to add just a rule like that.. care to point me in the correct direction?
