Well now have testet the traffic shaper and tried to set the limit too 1kb/s 
which it totally ignored (ill have another go at it)

The real problem is that bittorrent eats up a lot of connections and that is 
killing our VPN connection, is there another way to limit the connections?

Instead of blocking how about throttling to say 1KB/s so it is almost unusable 
for Bittorrent?

Subject: [pfSense Support] l7 blocking

Dear Users

I have been trying to block p2p traffic, as its killing the internet line.
I have recently asked a question if there was a way to get snort to block only 
that one traffic type and not the entire ip
I was tolled to try layer 7 blocking which I now have.

I have no problem blocking http, ftp or vnc, but bittorrent isn't blocking only 
if I enable bittorrent AND http to block then I can't get bittorrent peer 
connections
And I really would like my users to be able to do a http request :)

Im using 2.0 r2
