Bit Torrent deny rule

Dragan — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:54:37 GMT

Hello

i want to block all bit torrent traffic between all zones on my PA devices. I have Panorama in place and wondering what is the best way to prevent bit torrent traffic?

What settings should i use for application (bittorrent and/or bittorrent-sync) and for service (any or application-default)?

Can i setup source, destination and zones to be any or do i have o be more specific and put in individual zones? Again need to block it from any to any zones, no exceptions/

Thanks in advance.

We block both applications (bittorrent and/or bittorrent-sync) and the service as any. Also we do it based on specific source and destination zones. But you should be able to setup up a rule based on zones set to any.

You shouldn't have to be specific. You should be able to do Any/Any and I would suggest using Any service if a hard stance is being taken. That way it can't just be used on another port.
