Blocking Limewire
I want to block limewire and the ports it uses on my network, and anything that would allow it access.
What do I need to do and how would I do it? |

If you have a linksys router go to QOS then Rate control then add ports 63685 and 6346 then set bandwith to 0 You'll find also that 6347 is also used for RTR-Gnutella. I recommend blocking that port also, Although blocking SVC-Gnutella (6346 and 63685) should do the trick.

Re: Blocking Limewire
Wait, you're going to throttle ALL traffic in the port range 36294-49155?

Re: Blocking Limewire
Thats fine for blocking the default ports but if they are changed on the client side you are pissing in the wind.
You have the option of using a very strict firewall and only open the ports you absolutely need. I am behind a linux fw, but have heard good things about protowall. |
