Block internet access for apps that use random ports

Sep 12, 2007 3 Replies

I've been reading for a few days on the net about this, but can't seem to find any concrete answers.



I'm running XP PRO SP2



2.00 GHZ AMD
1 GIG RAM IE7 on a small office network using Linksys WRT54G v.8

I'm wondering if there is a way (on the network level) to block access to IM/CHAT programs that use randomly generated ports and port tunneling. I have a Linksys WRT54G v.5 that has been "upgraded" with DD-WRT v.23 SP2, at my disposal as well.



This is not a dire situation, but it would be nice.



If anyone can help...thanks! If not....thanks!



Gracias in advance,

Sure. Don't install/run those programs in the first place. Problem solved.

I'll just stick with using Software Restriction Policies

SRP are a way to achieve what I wrote.
