Firewall and Application Control Policy to Block Peer to Peer Applications

Thumbs UP from me :)

Thanks for the policy!

Thanks a lot for such a valuable information.

Thank you for the policy

Template has been taken for both the Policies only addition is the new Firewall rule was added for P2P applications 

Hey guys,

I followed the instructions above as well as in the link that Vikram provided, it does seem to work. Tested with installing Limewire, it did actually install but failed to connect.. good....
My issue is that I don't receive an e-mail alert when this rule blocks files listed in the rule....
I checked and verified that my e-mail address is setup  in Admin > Edit Administrator Properties
I also selected "Send e-mail alert" in the properties of the rule itself.
Am I missing something ?

Thanks in advance.

So I run into an issue where users rename the offending exe's after they download them (those that can function with a single exe). Wouldn't it be better for the App policy to block the file and folder access attempts to the named files rather than to do a process block? Or would you need both to prevent it from launching and from changing the file?

Nice
