Re: filtering MSN traffic

["Miguel A. Bolanos" <miguel () codetux com>]

Greetings Juan,

To block the file transfers you can use any software firewall out  
there like pf, ipfw or iptables. Simply keep in mind the following  
ports:

MSN Outgoing File Transfers: TCP 6891-6900
MSN Incoming File Transfers: TCP 6891-6900

I personally use PF (packet filter) on OpenBSD, but any Linux distro  
will also do the trick with iptables as well.

As for blocking the possibility of sending links/URLs on the chat,  
this is something I have never attempted, but I believe Squid might be  
a good point of start.

Best wishes,
