block torrent in a brdige

[googoo]

Hello everyone

i use a bridge in mikrotik

how can i block and filter torrent in the bridge via bridge firewall filter ?

Simple answer you can’t with bridge filters.
What you can do is enable use-ip-firewall in bridge settings and then block p2p or use L7 to match torrents, however it will add significant load on the router and will match only unencrypted torrents (mostly not used any more).

More simply: it is not possible to block the torrent protocol. It uses encryption. What you can do, is use proxy and block access to the most popular torrent sites.

Well, you are supposed to actually read the suggestion and login to your router and do what is written.
