The first release of the P2PWall project is now available for download under
the terms of the GPL.

URL is: http://p2pwall.sourceforge.net

The "ftwall" component of this project is the first working module, and
allows iptables-based linux firewalls to block traffic from "Kazaa" and
other "FastTrack" clients including iMesh and Grokster.

Work on other P2P protocols will start shortly. Mail me if you'd like to be
involved.

This is the first release - and so should be considered highly experimental
at this stage. Dont use on mission-critical firewalls yet, but download and
play. Let the author know how you get on.

Please use the project forums for communications regarding this software.
The author will not respond to direct e-mails unless about project
involvement, funding or licensing.

Links to the forums can be found at the bottom of the ftwall component's web
page.

Happy hunting!
