Re: Newbie question on gnutella rule

["Josh Berry" <josh.berry () netschematics com>]

Since you are using a proxy, all of you web clients are sending GET
requests for web pages to the proxy server on port 8080.  This rule will
alrm if it seems any GET request going to any port except 80.

Maybe you could create a port list of ports that you expect to see GET
requests on, just add !8080 to what is already there (!80).  I believe
that you have to do this like:

[!80,!8080]
