Blocking BitTorrent on Router

[KyleB]

My mate is being a c**t with BitTorrent so we need to restrict his access. I have a D Link DI624 router and am wondering what I will need to do on the firewall page to block his access to the use of BitTorrent.

That is a picture of the firewall page on the router, ive assigned him a static DHCP address of 192.168.0.105.

Cheers guys!

Im guessing just to block the port that is uses?

BT uses a massive range of ports.. would be difficult i think...

Forward all ports to a non-existant ip on your network.

Keep 80 HTTP and 443 HTTPS open.

Just install net limiter on his client, restrict his bandwidth.

cant be done unless you are prepared to cut of his connection completly, if its affecting your connection setup QOS for your IP.

cant you just have a word?

put DU meter on his machine so he can see how much he is doing every day/week/month so you can prove your point.

failing that kick him in the t**t and tell him to get he own internet connection.

cheers guys, we all have tried to tell him but he just claims he isnt downloading anything.

its blatently obvious he is becuase when his mac address is banned the internet is fast and when he is allowed on the internet is crippled.

think i seem to have done it, blocked a range of default bit torrent ports from his ip and havent had any slowdown yet. Im not sure how i would go about port forwarding :S

 

[Mells]

does he have access to your files/movies etc.??

he could be ripping all your mp3s etc to his hard disk causing alot of network traffic and it to all come to a hault.

 

[KyleB]

no its definately not him accessing mp3s or movies its bittorrent. ive found out he uses the port 46375 and have blocked that on tcp, udp and icmp.

going to try and find out about port forwarding.
