I think you mean copyright law.


But since many dc hubs, edonkey servers, bittorents web trackers and so on
use dynamic not standard ports, how to control it ?

I havent seen any way to control traffic for P2P apps reliably @ the protocol layer, u need to inspect it. Something like snort attached to your firewall, i guess ... though it'd be a reverse IDS (or a reverse IPS, intrusion prevention system, I've seen it called...)

a quick search in ports for ids shows:

/net/libnids
/security/libprelude and other prelude related ports
/security/snortms and other snort related ports


Linux use l7-filter  <http://sourceforge.net/projects/l7-filter>
sourceforge.net/projects/l7-filter sourceforge freeware and , it is based on
iptables, defination application protocols like ethereal project do.

right - so something like applying ethereal rules to the output of tcpdump and updating the rules in realtime...mind you, many of these apps/protocols are extremely flexible, they'll change how they connect very fast, which will put the load on your firewall

So, is there any way to do same application layer osi model firewall with
FreeBSD gateway ?

i dont see why not...though it's obvious I'm not sure how :) please share the answer when you find it :)
