Block Kazaa

[rahmatz]

Dear Tek-tips member,

Need to know how to block kazaa traffic. I am using redhat 9 for proxy server and using iptables to block traffic. Can i use iptables to block kazaa traffic, or need other additional software/service in my proxy server? Can someone give me an example of iptables to block kazaa?

Thanks

By default kazaa uses the same ports as http or proxy server, 80 and 8080 but will run on any port. The best way to build a fire wall is to block everything then only forward traffic you want to allow.
