Detection settings and P2P Eliminator
Check the Inform user by email option if you wish that users at whose hosts P2P networks
are detected will be warned and informed about actions to be taken (blocking of all traffic /
allowance of only certain services and length of the period for which restrictions will be ap-
plied). The email is sent only if a valid email address (see chapter
) is specified in the
particular user account. This option does not apply to unauthenticated users.
The Traffic will be blocked for value defines time when the restriction for the particular host
will be applied. 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.
If traffic of P2P network clients is not blocked, it is possible to set bandwidth limitation for
P2P networks at the bottom of the P2P Eliminator tab. Internet lines are usually asymetric (the
speed vary for incoming and outgoing direction); therefore, this limitation is set separately for
each direction. Bandwidth limitation applies only to traffic of P2P networks (detected by P2P
Eliminator), other services are not affected.
