From: Grant To: Gentoo mailing list Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Archives-Salt: X-Archives-Hash: 2df38daab7f2c1d85a04128ed2bdad9e I like the policy of blocking all ports in and out with a firewall and only opening the ones you need. Bittorrent makes that difficult since it connects out to unpredictable ports. Do you block outbound ports with a firewall or only inbound? - Grant
