A resposta às preces de quem precisa de acabar com p2p nas suas redes. O ipp2p já cá anda há algum tempo, mas só agora tive disponibilidade de o instalar num dos gateways do trabalho.
apt-get install iptables-dev
apt-get install linux-headers-2.x.x
Sacar a source do iptables (versão instalada - iptables –help) de
http://www.netfilter.org/projects/iptables/downloads.html
e descomprimir para /usr/src/iptables
Download do ipp2p aqui: http://www.ipp2p.org/downloads_en.html
Editar a Makefile e adicionar a seguinte variável:
IPTABLES_SRC = /usr/src/iptables
make
cp ibipt_ipp2p.so /lib/modules/iptables
cp ipt_ipp2p.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipv4
depmod
insmod ipt_ipp2p.ko
depmod -A
Depois verificar que o módulo está instalado e carregado:
lsmod |grep ipp2p
E depois adicionar a bela da regra na firewall:
iptables -A FORWARD -m ipp2p --ipp2p -j DROP
Ou em alternativa, bloqueios parciais:
iptables -A FORWARD -m ipp2p --edk --kazaa --gnu --dc -j DROP
Resta acrescentar que o suporte para os meus 2 maiores problemas (bittorrent e ed2k) é bom!
O culminar da reestruturação da minha antiga banda acontece amanhã, quinta-feira dia 10, com um concerto. O estilo mudou (de Trip-Hop para Pop) e os objectivos também, o que justificou a mudança de nome.
Somos os the Smokers, com um reportório amplo onde cabem coisas desde Pink Floyd a Faith no More, com alguns momentos dos 90’s (James, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., etc).
O concerto terá lugar pelas 22h30 no Moinho do Jamor, em Carnaxide. Estão desde já convidados a passar o serão de quinta connosco, para ouvirem um grande som.
Como chegar:
- A5 Cascais, saída de Carnaxide;
- primeira rotunda em frente;
- 2ª rotunda à esquerda;
- ao fundo da rua, virar à direita;
- o bar é a 150 metros do vosso lado direito.
Consumo mínimo: 3 euros (1 maço 
).
Ass: O baterista geek.
PS: Não se preocupem com o fumo, pois para além do bar ser bem ventilado, não costumamos fumar enquanto tocamos. 
A pedido do Carlos Rodrigues, aqui fica a fonte da notícia, um email enviado pelo Tim Westergren:
Dear Pandora listener,
Today we have some extremely disappointing news to share with you. Due to international licensing constraints, we are deeply, deeply sorry to say that we must begin proactively preventing access to Pandora’s streaming service for most countries outside of the U.S.
It is difficult to convey just how disappointing this is for us. Our vision remains to eventually make Pandora a truly global service, but for the time being, we can no longer continue as we have been. As a small company, the best chance we have of realizing our dream of Pandora all around the world is to grow as the licensing landscape allows.
We show your IP address is ‘XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX’, which indicates you are listening from Portugal. If you believe you are seeing this by mistake, we offer our sincere apologies and ask that you please reply to this email.
Delivery of Pandora is based on proper licensing from the people who created the music - we have always believed in honoring the guidelines as determined by legislators and regulators, artists and songwriters, and the labels and publishers they work with. In the U.S. there is a federal statute that provides this license for all the music streamed on Pandora. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent license outside the U.S. and there is no global licensing organization to enable us to legitimately offer Pandora around the world. Other than in the U.K., we have not yet been able to make significant progress in our efforts to obtain a sufficient number of international licenses at terms that would enable us to run a viable business. The volume of listening on Pandora makes it a very expensive service to run. Streaming costs are very high, and since our inception, we have been making publishing and performance royalty payments for every song we play.
Until now, we have not been able to tell where a listener is based, relying only on zip code information provided upon registration. We are now able to recognize a listener’s country of origin based on the IP address from which they are accessing the service. Consequently, on May 3rd, we will begin blocking access to Pandora to listeners from your country. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.
We will be posting updates on our blog regarding our ongoing effort to launch in other countries, so please stay in touch. We will keep a record of your existing stations and bookmarked artists and songs, so that when we are able to launch in your country, they will be waiting for you. We deeply share your sense of disappointment and greatly appreciate your understanding.

Quem, como eu, fazia uso do streaming de som (ou em termos mais leigos, ouvia uma rádio personalizada) via o pandora.com, vai ter que mudar de poiso. O site vai começar a bloquear ips fora dos EUA, devido a limitações internacionais nas licenças que possuem. Embora eles antigamente só permitissem o registo de pessoas que tivessem morada nos EUA, era um ponto facilmente ultrapassável (até deu para sonhar um pouco quando inventei a minha morada em NYC).
Tenho que voltar para o jerky last.fm…
