RE: how to filter kazaa

[Gladson George]

	Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is going after
Universities for allowing the students to use p2p (kazaa) application to
illegally transfer music and videos of artists they represent.  At the moment
there two schools that have been hit with a lawsuit.  

	The only ways I know to block kazaa are:
	
	- Cisco's Protocol Filtering software which runs on their 7000 series
routers.  $$$$$
	- PacketTear which cost around $12,000 dollars
	- Iptables- Costing only the pc.
	
	Discussions on various message boards regarding blocking kazaa has
helped me block kazaa at the university I currently work at an save the
department the headache the going through a lawsuit.  Before blocking kazaa
we received at least 3-5 e-mail from riaa and mediaforce starting
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX IP has be illegal sharing copyrighted media.  

	These discussions have helped me and I am sure it has helped other
network admin's that faced similar situation.

All this talk of blocking kazaa seems a bit crazy to me. Don't you think
that someone from Kazaa is reading this list? You certainly know they
could. Each time you find a way to block kazaa they can work around your
blocking. Instead of the arms race, how about a truce? How about detecting
Kazaa packets and marking them as 'high throughput', and then using a
bandwidth management algorithm to keep kazaa users happy without making
the internet unusable for the rest of us.

If you are unlucky enough to have to pay by bytes transferred, then I
might suggest that you budget usage. I am sure that the average office
worker doesn't use more than 300mb of Internet bandwidth a day, which I
voracious p2p user certainly would.

Hi there,

do you know where to find ip_nat_pptp/ip_conntrack_pptp  patches for kernel
2.4.20? I tried searching in google but didn't find any good guide for
newbie. The reason why im doing this is to allow my private network to
connect to the VPN simultaneously.

I have these files installed but can I ask your help how to install these as
modules?

"/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/net/ipv4/netfilter"
ip_nat_pptp.c
ip_conntrack_pptp.c

I cant find "pptp connection tracking" support in "make
menuconfig/Networking Options/Netfilter Configuration"

Appreciate your help.

/TIA.
VP.

patch-o-Matic. downloaded seperately to netfilter and you must get the same one as the source of iptables downloaded..
