Re: [squid-users] P2P cache

Squid is a HTTP proxy. Most P2P services aren't using HTTP, and
certainly aren't using port 80 (which is what is forwarded to make it
transparent). Squid can't deal with any of this.
I suggest you simply block P2P traffic if it's a private network (home
or business, etc).
