      I have a VLAN for the guest wifi that I want to block all p2p traffic. What's the best approach to this? Are there ports that I can just block on the VLAN to prevent them from downloading?

        @cheapie408 hey there,
        for guests I only allow the typical stuff like ports for surfing internet (80, 443), email, playstore for updates. And of course those rules to separate guests from my home network...
        That is it. No more.

          My house is going up for short term rental and some travelers are business travelers. The only thing I'd like to block is P2P.

            @cheapie408 hey there,
            another possible option:
            use pfblockerng and use p2p blocklists...

              @the-other I got pfblockerng installed... are there preloaded p2p blocklists or is this something I need to create myself?
