      Dear All,
      Is it possible to block all the P2P Applications/Ports through pfsense. If some one have any idea/doc then please share it.

      Waiting for response.

      Regards
      RMA

        Greetings.

        To block p2p, delete the rule "default any" in the pfsense rule Firewall Rule > LAN.
        Just add ports that you need like 80,443.

        You can also set lower priority p2p using traffic shaper.

        Hope this help your needs.

        Good luck

          Most P2P apps can run over port 80 so that's not going to help.  The only real way to do it is L7 filtering.

          I can break anything.
