I didn't think of filtering out P2P traffic, I actually wanted to detect it... (but now you gave me an idea about filtering, I'm considering it :) )
I installed ntop instread, and a certain user is completely over the hill (in my point of view - he has more than 200 connections (a lot to dynamic ADSL connections)) - and this user still tells me he is not torrenting or whatever...

The only thing I can think of (if he is not lying to me), is that his computer is infested with spyware ?
The only odd thing is, that this user has about 500KB of data sent every hour, so that isn't really torrent anyway - but still it is akward, that he has such a lot of connections anyway - isn't it ?

I think that there is a bug in the bandwidthd package. the xml states that bandwidthd REQUIRES pfsense 2.0

this package will NOT filter out p2p, it will just try to detect it. not suitable for blocking the p2p. you might want to try snort for that.

I have installed pfSense 1.2 onto the box.
I already tried another on the list of the pfSense packages, the ntop
version, which also seems to give me the details I need (this ntop
interface indicates that he is using P2P, can I say with 100%
probability he is actually P2P-ing, or should this be taken into
consideration)

thank you for your reply

ps. i was trying to install bandwidthd that came with the packages to
install in pfsense itself... it states bandwidthd BETA 2.0.1.1 -
platform 1.0
