Beginning with Shorewall version 1.4.8, Shorewall can interface to ftwall. ftwall is part of the p2pwall project and is a user-space filter for applications based on the Fast Track peer to peer protocol. Applications using this protocol include Kazaa, KazaaLite, iMash and Grokster. To filter traffic from your loc zone with ftwall, you insert the following rules in /etc/shorewall/rules file after any DROP or REJECT rules whose source is the loc zone. #ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO QUEUE loc net tcp QUEUE loc net udp QUEUE loc fw udp Now simply configure ftwall as described in the ftwall documentation and restart Shorewall. There are ftwall init scripts for use with SuSE and Debian Linux at http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/contrib/ftwall. Shorewall verions 2.2.0 and later also include support for the ipp2p match facility which can be use to filter and/or control P2P traffic. See the Shorewall IPP2P documentation for details.
