P2P Blocking
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) involves communication between
computing devices—desktops, servers, and other smart
devices—that are linked directly to each other. Using this
feature of the ProxyBlocker, groups and/or individual client
machines can be set up to block the use of P2P services
specified in the library category.

devices—that are linked directly to each other. Using this
feature of the ProxyBlocker, groups and/or individual client
machines can be set up to block the use of P2P services
specified in the library category.
When the P2P module is loaded on the server, the Proxy-
Blocker compares packets on the network with the P2P
library stored on the ProxyBlocker server. If a match is
found, the ProxyBlocker checks the user’s profile to see
whether the user’s connection to the P2P service should be
blocked, and then performs the appropriate action.
