Re: how to block ALL AIM traffic ?

[Netops <michael () bluesuperman com>]

Hello,

The best way is to use a application level firewall or application level 
proxy.

For example, by downloading squid which is a open source http proxy you 
can create some very strict http filters, to block all kinds of things.

I was able to block, MSN,AOL,ICQ, Yahoo ..
