I'd suggest detecting Freenet nodes by their UDP traffic usage. No
amount of VoIP or gaming activity will generate a near-constant UDP
stream to ~20 external nodes. If your firewall/billing/traffic logging
software provides for this, I think it'll be the simplest way.

If you're proficient with Java, another way would be to create a simple
opennet harvester (which constantly gets connections to new nodes,
discovers more nodes, then blocks their IP addresses).

With best regards,
Victor Denisov.
