First, you need to have the router's login password.

Just block the following ports for both of TCP & UDP.

64430
17788
1900 *
8400
3478 *
8800 *
7201 *

* you can choose not block this ports. As PPStream more depends on port 17788, 8400 & 64430


My router is Dlink Di-524, with an original firmware


PPS is buffering...


Block the PPS Servers' ports


Now try to watch another movie, makes it reconnects to the server


Now, PPS failed on connecting to its server!


Tested on 2 pcs, which installed of the latest of PPS and they failed to stream the movie now...
NOTE: If it works, your skunk housemate may opted an alternative... So, please share with me what you have found...

And also for UDP 7202, but TCP port is dynamic

Only 64430 falls on dynamic range. UDP is usually for streaming media purpose, so in this case i believed that TCP is prior than UDP.
Therefore we need to block the initial connections from it's server, to make them cant connect with each other.

Does it really matter if the TCP port is dynamic ?

PPStream will connect to its server before itself connecting to p2p. So the ports of reaching to the server must be blocked and those ports are consistency, so no problem for here.

if i block this port, will it be affecting the other streaming program?

example what other streaming program?

mainly block 7201 and 7202 UDP can already

at least i am not evil, i dont block it whole time, i block it when i need the internet... usually to be fair, 8pm to 12am... the rest of the time, she can watch all she wans

Erm, block inbound or outbound? Coz my modem is DSL 2640T, has the same function but has inbound and outbound options.

EDIT: I just blocked 7201 to 64430 port outbound, both TCP and UDP and now PPS doesn't work anymore! Woohoo!

cool info and guide, thanks a lot man

will it block Qvod also?


vccy118

can u screen shot to let me c how u set?

Just block the site addy.... doing this blocking port nonsense will cause ur roommate to screw around with the modem n such. Block the site... n when he ask why cannot access u tell him must be tm prob cause u cant access too... either that or assign QOS to PPS.


Attached thumbnail(s)

if i block the port range from 7401 to 64430, will it affect normal surfing? only p2p programs such as ppstream and QVOD blocked?

how does it works?

QoS on specifically PPS? I am not complaining since it's my sister watching, but tht damn program is uploading unlimitedly..

now the latest pps port is 8200~19999
just block on UDP and TCP 8200~19999

most of the router have firewall setting there
i'm using SMC Router Modem so i set it like below


also thx for swgiant guided
