How to effectively block various P2P download software

The emergence of p2p is still controversial

P2P download software is known as "Network killer" by technical experts in the telecom industry ". In fact, P2P download software is called the network killer, which is determined by the principles of P2P software. The upload bandwidth required by P2P software such as BT or donkey during the download process is also the origin of the "Network killer" title.

For enterprises and institutions, P2P downloading software is a super network killer. When a client in an Internet cafe uses P2P downloading, the network of the entire Internet cafe will suffer from severe lag. Because of this, many Internet cafes are blocking P2P download software. As we all know, telecom operators have always wanted to block P2P download software, but it was not successful. How can Internet cafes effectively control P2P download software? Next, I will introduce several methods to control P2P software download.

Use the Registry to disable known P2P software

To restrict the use of P2P download software on Internet cafe clients, it is a creative practice to restrict the running of P2P software. There are two methods to restrict P2P software.

1. Use the Registry to prohibit P2P software downloads

Edit a registry file named KillP2P. reg with the following content:

WindowsRegistryEditorVersion5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows

CurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer]

"DisallowRun" = dword: 00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftware

MicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorerDisallowRun]

"1" = "BT.exe"

"2" = "Thunder.exe"

"3" = "bitcomet.exe"

"4" = ".......... "

"5" = ".......... "

To restrict the operation of the P2P software, you only need to enter the executable file of the P2P download software after 1 and 2. After importing the KillP2P. reg file into the registry, restart the machine. The P2P software restricted in KillP2P. reg cannot run.

2. Use group policies to prohibit P2P software

If you are not familiar with the Registry, you can use the Group Policy to prohibit P2P download of software. In fact, the Group Policy is another form of expression of the Registry, and the functions of the two are the same. The following describes how to use a group policy to prohibit P2P software downloading:

Enter "gpedit. msc" in "run" in the "Start" menu to start the Group Policy Editor. Taobao (the client of the IOT platform). After adding the client, click OK. In this way, we can prohibit the local machine from running all the software in the above list. This method is also applicable to prohibiting other software and virus programs from running.

The above two methods can restrict common P2P download software. Once a new P2P download software appears, the list of prohibited software must be updated in a timely manner. If you change the name of thunder Executable File thunder.exe, Thunder can still be used, which is also the limitation of the above two methods. For this limitation, users can restrict the use of P2P download software on the client through the network port. However, the latest P2P software can automatically switch ports, and thus the port limit cannot be effective. In this case, you can consider using some network management software, such as jusheng network management's use of protocol-based video and interception technology in blocking P2P download software and P2P Video software!
