How to block LimeWire with TerminatorX

• Is your network traffic alive with illegal music downloads eating up your bandwidth?
• Are you are worried about prosecution?
• Is your fast Internet access too tempting for your employees or students?

TerminatorX can easily block LimeWire and many other P2P file sharing applications. Addtional or future programs can be quite easily banned. TerminatorX also targets time-wasting applications - it blocks chat, blocks messengers and blocks games.

TerminatorX runs invisibly, checking all running applications and stopping those, like LimeWire, that you selected during set-up - it pays for itself in no time by increasing employee productivity or student concentration.

You can find out who is trying to use programs or web sites that you have banned. TerminatorX Monitor shows 'Terminated' programs on a computer located anywhere on your network - for example a Technician's workstation. The details are shown in 'real time' as the attempts are made. This screenshot shows a typical view:

Clicking a list entry provides additional details. TerminatorX Monitor can be set to save the details in a .CSV (comma separated values) file which can be opened and viewed in Excel.

Still trying (without success) to block LimeWire ports?

Some sources say that peer-to-peer file sharing programs like LimeWire and KaZaA use a variety of ports including ports 1214 outbound and ports 1214-8000 inbound. To block LimeWire ports you would also have to block TCP port 6346 and stop UDP port 6346. However, there is a post in a forum which infers that the user can choose the port which LimeWire uses. See the LimeWire program's menus - Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Firewall Config

It is now generally accepted that if you block access to those ports, file sharing applications like LimeWire will hop from port to port until they find an unblocked one, and will even use port 80.

Other file sharing programs like eMule, WinMX and eDonkey also allow the user to select which port to use.

So, you are bound to be kept playing catch-up while they keep one step ahead.

It must be easier and quicker to stop all these and more at source, using TerminatorX.       Go on, give it a try - free.
