Topic: SQUID, Kazaa and similars

[Alejandro Lengua]

I wonder if editing squid.conf access to kazaa can be blocked.

I am using SME in a Server/Gateway mode with 2 network adapters

have look at squid manual under acl's also you could use iptables to block that port search here sure this has been answered before

Took me less than 2 minutes to find this addon

byte,

DOES THIS REALLY WORK ???

see: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php
The Kazaa peer-to-peer system is sneaky in getting around firewalls, but not sneak enough...
but what was/is presented there, namely the P2Pwall Project's ftwall program, is "heavy stuff" in theory like in execution

Please let us know if that contrib does _really_ block Kazaa (under 6.03b) !?

Thanks

Reinhold, if you really want to TRY IT YOURSELF!!! Then you can let us know whether it works.

I have never installed this, I wouldnt even need this contrib Just responding to Alejandro.

Byte.

Byte,

I do not install things I don't really need  ...
...and (sorry 'bout that): I don't recommend things I haven't tested myself!

Be assured: Kazaa isn't that easily blocked.
It has too many ways around just a simple blocked port to list here.
Unless there's proof I have to assume that this (fairly undocumented, simple?, dangerous ??? stuff ... won't even work!)

Take care

I confirm that Denyport can't block Kazaa. Would be great if someone could come up with the contrib. I am not that experienced to do it....

I know that someone developed a working fast-track protocol (Kazaa) blocker. Its somewhat of a crude method in that it blocks ALL access to any particular ip that it decides is a fast-track server. I saw the release reported on the IPcop reflector several months ago. I suspect a seach of their archives will turn it up. (Sorry, I dont use it here, my son would never forgive me if I did )

Here is the url to the fast track blocker
