Assunto: Re: [pfSense Support] how to block the bit torrent

 

if you use any technology to classify and/or block bit torrent at layer 4,
all someone has to do is change their source port to something different, or
proxy the connection so the destination port is different.  Or if you're
particularly unlucky, they might use VPN to mask it.  

 

This is why you cannot depend on a fire-and-forget solution to do all the
blocking for you.  it's better to identify the offending traffic, save some
pcaps to show what the user was doing, then deal with the user themselves
face to face or over email.  Notify them that their activity is a breach of
security policy. 

 

What is reading have you done on traffic shaping, packet filtering, IDS,
etc?  No offense, but I think you may lack some fundamental understanding of
the technologies involved.  Please take that as an observation only, I'm not
talking down to you.  You've asked a number of very basic questions today,
so I'm trying to get a good handle of where you're at.

savvy users will use a different port.  if your goal is to say "we block bit
torrent", this shouldnt matter.  if your goal is to actually block bit
torrent or successfully enforce security policy, this may not be sufficient.

pfsense is the freebsd, so one way or another you can install the snort.
there is a pfsense package for it though for easy installation and
maintenance.  you may want to google IDS and how to tune it before deploying
it.  IDS isn't something you want to walk into blind.

You won't find much success in trying to block bittorrent with a firewall.
Your best bet is to use IDS (eg: snort) or another sort of categorization
software or appliance to identify who is using bittorrent and deal with them
at layer 8 via company security policy.  Torrenting is one place where you
simply cannot deploy a fire-and-forget solution and hope for it to actually
work.
