Hi ...
I'm just got the "duty" to find possible solutions for a kollegium
network(where alot of young people uses p2p programs) with a new
router/firewall ... considering pfsense in a soekris box or maybe even a
computer.
Since the primary goal is to stop p2p traffic, how well would it
perform, atm we have a 16/16mbit line, witch will probebly be upgraded soon.
Read a little about the shapping options in pfsense, but can't find find
info on people how need something smililar and how they configured the
queues, rules etc. ( maybe max tcp connections etc). People says it
easier to limit the traffic they can use, cause they will probebly just
find a other way out if I tried to block all the ports the p2p program uses.
Any hints, links, etc are more than welcome ... or maybe even a config
xml file, that I can try to load into a vmware test setup to look more
into it. Trying to find the best solution.
best regards
Mikael Syska
