Prevent Torrents

Linode Staff

Do you have an IP protocol to prevent accessing torrents? Or some suggestions to prevent torrenting? Thank you.

We don't specify any protocol for attempting to ban torrent access from a server or application. I've found some useful guides with step-by-step instructions on working to keep torrents from being accessible on your server, however. These links offer steps and commands for using iptables to manage p2p connections, like torrents:
