Recent Kazaas use random ports and encrypted traffic in an attempt to "break through" firewalls. P2PWall solves these problems for the current Kazaa versions. P2PWall currently uses the "QUEUE" target of iptables to pass packets to the daemon for verification. A future enhancement is planned to bring the logic into iptables as kernel "match module". http://www.lowth.com/p2pwall Chris -- >From Chris Lowth chris@lowth.com
