Not blocking identified torrent traffic

[ferrazrafael]

I'm using Gargoyle 1.4.7 on a TP-LINK WR741ND v2. Every thing is working fine except that I make a restriction (whitelist) that allows all traffic but blocks all bittorrent traffic. But in Connection List I can see a lot of bittorrent connection transmitting. This is a bug?

bittorrent traffic is hard to stop, most is encrypted these days

[ferrazrafael]

yes, but this traffic is identified it should be blocked. Maybe this is some kind of bug. I need to report it somewhere?

as posted else-ware i recommend trying 1.5.6

[ferrazrafael]

thanks, I was unsure to test a experimental release. Do you think 1.5.6 is stable enough?

I upgraded my wr741nd v2 to gargoyle 1.5.6 and its working fine. But torrent blocking isn't working too.

I thinks its better you use Quotas for IP that you suspecting using torrent ....

[ferrazrafael]

yes, but I dont want to punish the guy that uses the internet too much but doesnt cripple the entire network. A normal download is handled quiete well by most routers QoS. But if one of them opens 1000 connections, even if he isnt donwloading at hight rates, this seems to flood the entire network. I didnt test if 1.5.6 handles better torrent than 1.4.7. But if it does, I let you guys know.

I am having this same issue. Too many connections (caused by torrenting) kills the network. Not download.

Gargoyle 1.5.6 doesnt handled torrent better. Instead it is dropping wifi signal time to time. So I downgraded to 1.4.7.
