Configuration

A tool to block peer-to-peer traffic. The web-based interface tool is only included in the Office and Professional Editions. Home Edition users can still implement peer-to-peer blocking by following the instructions below.

The following applications can be blocked and/or throttled:

  • eDonkey, eMule, Kademlia
  • KaZaA, FastTrack
  • Gnutella
  • Direct Connect
  • BitTorrent, extended BT
  • AppleJuice
  • WinMX
  • SoulSeek
  • Ares, AresLite
Warning! 
 

For some protocols, the peer-to-peer blocker will only halt the initial connection to other systems. In other words, a system that is already connected to a peer-to-peer network will not get blocked. If you are sanity checking this tool, please disconnect the peer-to-peer client.

 
 


Troubleshooting

The world of peer-to-peer networks is fast paced and constantly changing. If you find that your peer-to-peer software is not getting blocked, then feel free to post your feedback on the online forums:
