Hi all

Is there any way to block peer to peer file sharing and torrent applications? Any third party tools that can do this would also help.

Thanks :)

If you are using the firewall client you can create an application rule to block at the workstation.

I think I answered this in another forum post...but Tom has a good article on how to do this here:

You can also accomplish blocking with an HTTP filter. However, in my opinion, it is much better to block the applications at the client.

If you want an excellent solution and have some $$ I would consider looking at a Packeteer Packetshaper. www.poacketeer.com
