Kazaa Filtering

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 near the top of your /etc/shorewall/rules file (before and ACCEPT rules whose source is the 'loc' zone).

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.
