Hello,The best way is to use a application level firewall or application level proxy.
For example, by downloading squid which is a open source http proxy you can create some very strict http filters, to block all kinds of things.
I was able to block, MSN,AOL,ICQ, Yahoo .. Michael Realized Mofo wrote:
I am at an office with 50~ machines , out of thoes about 20 or so use AIM. I would like to block AIM and normally i'd just block the AIM port (5190) or whatever it is.. BUT AOL seems to have found a great way around this and has 4000+ diffrent ports they use and i'd assume lots of diffrent hosts. Whats the best way of blocking all AIM traffic ?
