Re: KazAa ?

I use www.dnsredirector.com to prevent P2P File Sharing software and other
spyware from being used / installed on my clients networks

If anyone out there has some more keywords (domain names) to block let me
know. (just reply here)
Also, is there a website or list of more blocking keywords for this program
or others like it?
(although I must say thier 'sample' keywords block 99.9% of the crap I'm
worried about)

Well, if you want to block P2P, you should also block Remote and Local
Ports 1214 (KaZaa, others), 6346 (Limewire), and 6699 (WinMX), in your
cleint's firewalls. It won't stop savvy users with the newer versions,
but it will stop the older versions of this software as well as the
less-savvy folks who don't know to use non-standard ports for P2P.

DNSredirector looks almost exactly like DNSKong, which I support and
for which I maintain updated lists. Feel free to use my named.txt
file, although nothing on my list is specifically keyed towards
stopping P2P itself; my main concern is the spyware and ad sites.
