Description:

ftwall is a program for linux firewalls that allows the control of network
traffic from "Fast Track" peer-to-peer clients like "Kazaa" and it's
derivatives. It is designed to block network traffic from Fast track client
applications running in the "home" (or "green") network from making access to
any peers on the public internet. It is ideal for use in networks where the
security paradigm is "open access" for outbound connections and "tightly
limited" access for inbound ones. Ftwall can be used in such a network to
prevent outbound Fast Track access, hence preventing illegal file downloads and
uploads. Read the ftwall homepage at http://www.lowth.com/p2pwall/ftwall/ for
information about configurating ftwall. Further directions are installed within
this package in /usr/share/doc/ftwall-1.09
