P2P Applications/Ports

[rmuhammadali]

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.

pfs version 2 supports L7 i guess

Snort has a p2p policy category, would this help?
