So I have been searching through old posts and cannot find any straight answer to this question.
How do you completely block Limewire with BFW? I run a small wisp and am having a horrible
time with this. I have these L7 protocols blocked in the Simplified FW settings:
bittorrent, audiogalaxy, freenet, goboogy, napster, soulseek, edonkey, gnucleuslan, directconnect,
skypetoskype, ventrilo, fasttrack, gnutella.
Gnutella is Limewire, right?? But Limewire works through the BFW like it isn't even there.
I have seen the expensive security appliances (like Checkpoint and Zywall) successfully block
Limewire, so there has got to be a way to do it. I have iftop installed on my BFW, so I can watch
the traffic and boot people off manually. But I can't stare at my screen all day, everyday.
I love BFW, so I do not want to switch to something else, but I have got to figure out how
to block Limewire once and for all. Does any body have any ideas?? If so, please help.
Thanks in advance.
I am running bfw ver 2.31.10 on a 2.8GHz P4, with 512MB ram, 4 GB usb flash drive, no HDD.
