MxxCon Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 if they use domain names to access inet you can null them out using host file if they use ips to access inet you can nullroute 'em using ROUTE command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eversurf Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 What kind of router are you using? Your best bet would be to find out which port those apps are running on and from there you can block those ports. The App will never use the internet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 and what if that app uses port 80? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eversurf Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Then you shouldn't block port 80 because you will stop all your http traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 ya, no ****. that's why blocking ip where those apps access is better than blocking ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eversurf Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 It depends what application we are talking about...but you are right, if they are using port 80 then you cannot block that port and the best way would be to block the IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
