how to ban Torrent + P2P program in Router
January 25th, 2020
Anybody knows the port for torrent and p2p? i need to ban them since it’s been widely used at my home (10 computers) and my internet connection became really slow..
what i need to know is,
1) Port number range
2) Type (TCP/UDP)
Thank you in advance.
check the port on the torrent program. normally it use one port only, but no specific port.
Most p2p applications allow the user to change the port through which the software works so blocking a certain port will do no good. I’m sorry but I can offer you little help. Good luck mate ^_^

Yes, The person use the p2p program can change it too. If you try to block it. Why don’t you tell them not to use it.
you can use some proxy softwares that give you more options blocking such ports
If you use linux, you can use iptables to throttle p2p traffic. Indeed that would be one way. Since there are software such as L7-filter, ipp2p, etc that can identify data packets that are received and sent by the application name and not by the port, blocking applications such as eMule, Bitrorrent clients and other p2p systems would be possible. However, I haven’t seen applications such as those for Windows and that’s a shame
Snort can do it on windows. Thanks for the tip mate, I’ll check it out
