Configuring linksys wrt54gl to only allow certain ports

[guest2013-1]

I have a problem at one of our offices (only running a router) that I can't seem to figure out how to restrict all the traffic going out (requests) to only port 80/143/21/25/110 (and maybe MSN port)

We've had a problem with downloading in the office via torrents and because we don't get capped but charged extra, we ran a bill of almost R25 000

Any help configuring this router would be awesome

If you're running DD-WRT go to Access Restrictions and there's an option to block all P2P and other services too.

Its running stock standard firmware, not sure about DD-WRT? i will check

I'm not sure how you can do it with standard firmware, might be worth loading DD-WRT.

Is there any screenshots or documentation on this software (not in german)

I'd like to overview it before I potentially screw up our office router. The intarwebs is very strong with them...

Does the DD-WRT software allow for logging per IP address? I was thinking of somehow issueing static IP addresses through DHCP (does it do leasing like windows?) and then have a router log somewhere to see how much traffic each machine has been using and on what.

Thanks for the advice

Here you go (just a sampler!) I just flashed my WaRT GL to the v24 final release from the last RC one which, as usual, went off without a hitch.

SURELY you've been to The Wiki by now...? 'sides that, a bit of googling ("dd-wrt screenshots" anyone?) will likely help you along. That said, it's a piece o' koek to do this: flash with the micro version first (the original firmware won't recognise a .bin file over 2.7MB) then flash with the generic/VoIP/whatever full version you want afterwards and get tweaking!

Kan nie sê nie but on a cursory scan, this looks promising.

I was thinking of somehow issueing static IP addresses through DHCP (does it do leasing like windows?) and then have a router log somewhere to see how much traffic each machine has been using and on what.

...done: goto the [services] tab and go a li'l bit down to the [static leases] section where you put in the MAC address of the machine you want on a static-yet-still-DHCP address and put it where you want it to stay.

In short: don't panic, like many here, I've been using dd-wrt for ages now and honestly can't recall if I've killed a WaRT doing so.
