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.
