Torrent Connection Blocking
Tenants aren’t the only ones with security concerns. When you’re an ISP, you’re responsible for upholding the integrity of your network environment.
One threat to watch out for is peer-to-peer file sharing.Peer-to-peer file sharing services pose a grave danger to network operators in multi-dwelling units, such as apartments or student dormitories. Penalties can take the form of financial forfeiture and even complete network blackout periods. While it’s impossible to control end user behavior, it is possible to implement network limitations to deter tenants from illegally sharing files.
For example, you can opt to have your network configured so that Internet speed slows to a crawl for those engaging in illegal activities. Looking for a more passive solution? Trigger a notification to appear on the end user’s device that will warn them to cease any illegal file sharing activities before further disciplinary action is taken. In most cases, a simple warning will be a cue for most pirates to stop.
The pirates may stop, but they remain on your radar. A full record of the end user’s account information and unique device address, as well as the amount of data transferred and any additional details is automatically logged to help you resolve any potential issues and satisfy requests from ISPs or law enforcement officials.
