Re: how to block ALL AIM traffic ?

[Netops <michael () bluesuperman com>]

Decent application level filters can block proxies such as socks 
connections and HTTP tunneling software. The hardest ones are the ones 
the use the "CONNECT" method which most SSL sites use in order to 
function through web proxies.

That can be blocked by only allowing the CONNECT method on port 443 and 
restricting SSL connections to required servers such as banks, airlines 
or other approved sites by managers.
