Blocking P2P

I have Slackware 9.1 on a home network gateway with IPTABLES firewall.

How can I block Peer to Peer traffic in both directions?


Thanks

Works nicely, although I really use it with Quality of Service to make P2P
traffic permitted but only as 'filler' traffic. Of course if you local
computer policy says no P2P then that it should be.

There is no need for connection tracking as all you have to do is drop the
first packet and the rest will fail.

you might see which ports are being used by p2p service, and then drop
those in your firewall chains .... best way to stop the ipmasqurading,
and redirect port 80 to your proxy/caching server ... the way most
corporates do.
