<![CDATA[Blocking Limewire even when it use port 80]]>Hi,

Does it exist ways I can block Limewire and other file sharing applications through pfsense even if they use port 80 for the transfers?

Thanks for hints and comments

So if I blocked any one ip on my LAN interface I will cut off internet to several people. If it were possible to run SNORT on the WAN interface and set it to block BOTH ip addressees associated with a SNORT alert.  I believe that this would solve my problem and effectively stop the P2P. (And help keep my little wisp from getting sued by the RIAA)  ;)

I guess squid could block it when used in transparent mode.

OK, however, is the squid package for pfsense stable enough now?
