Well, all blocking port 8181 does not stop it from Trying to use Bonjour to discover, and it certainly blocks it from connecting to default configured servers, so I would vote that's a bad solution.

I read the original request, as a way to stop IM Remote to auto-add bonjour discovered servers, or simply ignore bonjour completely.

A simple preference setting?


Bonjour is not used to discover the servers on the LAN. Perhaps it will be used in the future. A SLP-like UDP broadcast is used. Server-discovery is the only thing that uses UDP in the client, so blocking UDP will only disable the server-discovery.

Yes, it could be implemented as a preference setting.
