Dear friends,

I am trying to build a open source UTM Box. I have succeeded building an Centos Squid Proxy along SquidGuard. But now i am facing an issue with p2p traffic. I want to block BitTorrent traffic and i want to install ipp2p module on my centos 5.0 box. Please help me in this regard.....

First, if you're trying to build a UTM system, why would you use CentOS 5, which is ANCIENT, rather than installing the latest 7.x version???

Secondly, this has been asked (and answered), MANY times on this site, and on other sites you can find with Google. You CANNOT block bittorrent with squid. The ipp2p software you're mentioning is ALSO very old (last updated in 2006, according to their website). You need a layer 7 filter to block such things...there are some l7 filtering kernel patches you can apply, but again, your system is VERY old. Your best bet would be to purchase something that does what you're after.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions , which i am going to take forward and try to implement the UTM Using Centos 7.0..
I just chose Centos 5.0 and squid 2.6 because both these are very stable and i previos expierence of using it. I will surely give a try with Cetos 7.... Thanks again...

...which will STILL not matter, since you're after an L7 filter. Which, again, are very old and haven't been updated in quite some time.
CentOS 7.x is stable, as are other 'stable' releases of any software package. Using outdated software is a bad idea, period.
