Internet Access, no file sharing

[andreasajk]

Hello,

I want to build a network where the clients will have internet access but no matter what settings they have, there will be no file sharing.

What should I do ?

Thank you

Hi,

It is dificult to achieve with just a router. File sharing also takes place on port 80. So we can't essentially block it. On the router, you can only block the ports used by this protocol.

Usually this is achieved by URL filtering.

Is there any device I can use ?

Thanks again

You can look into URL filter softwares like WebSense or N2H2 that you can integrate with your router. Additionally you can look into IDS devices.
