Figure 15.1 Detection settings and P2P Eliminator
As implied by the previous description, it is not possible to block connections to par-
ticular P2P networks. P2P Eliminator enables to block connection to the Internet from
particular hosts (Block all traffic for the particular user), to allow these users to connect
to certain services only Allow only predefined services) or to set limit for the bandwidth
(set speed limit) that can be used by P2P traffic. The settings will be applied to all clients
of P2P networks detected by P2P Eliminator.
Use the Services button to open a dialog where services which will be allowed can be
specified. All services defined in Configuration → Definitions → Services are available
(for details, refer to chapter
12.3).
Check the Inform user by email option if you wish that users at whose hosts P2P net-
works are detected will be warned and informed about actions to be taken (blocking
of all traffic / time-limited restrictions for certain services and length of the period for
which restrictions will be applied). The email is sent only if a valid email address (see
chapter 13.1) is specified in the particular user account. This option does not apply to
unauthenticated users.
Use the Block traffic for ... minutes parameter to specify the length of time during which
traffic will be blocked for the particular host. The P2P Eliminator module enables traffic
for this user automatically when the specified time expires. The time of disconnection
should be long enough to make the user consider consequences and to stop trying to
connect to P2P networks.
