How can I Block ALL torrent Apps

[Wesley]

Hi I am running UT 5.3.0

Plug-in installed are : Phish Blocker, Spyware Blocker, Web Filter, Virus Blocker Intrusion Prevention, Protacall Control, Attack Blocker and Untangle Reports.

I have Blocked every thing relating to P2P but still seem to have uses still able to use the torrent facilities.

Welcome to the forums. I'm afraid what you ask for isn't possible. You will spend all your time till doomsday and the darn torrent protocols will just get through. Fortunately most of them will trigger the blocks along the way. So if you're paying attention, you can go deal with the individual responsible.

As posted in a previous forum post related to this, a strong usage and security policy goes a long way. Especially when someone is shown the door because of it.

Thank you, for your response

I have Identified the source of torrent abuse but unfortunately don't the bootable power, as I'm the "Net Admin" on site and for some strange reason management is not too worried (But when the ADSL Cap is complete then it is my problem) so that is why I was trying to sort that Block out.

Once again

Thank you very much

Then create a DHCP reservation for this person's mac address, then configure a firewall rule to deny everything to the internet from that station. When management asks, inform them that he was causing the facility to reach the cap and had to be shut down to maintain connectivity.

Thanks will work on that
