Router Draytec 2820n

Can anyone tell me how to block torrent downloads? I found details outlining creating an IM/P2P Object (link below) and applying it, but the IM Object does not appear in the Object menu.

http://support.draytek.net.au/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/261/39/how-can-i-block-imp2p-for-some-specified-people

I dont want to use CSM if I can help it as I am using it for home.

Thanks

Well, having sifted through the millions of responses.....just kidding - although I would imagine that other people must have the same requirement.

I contacted Draytek support and they have sent this. i have yet to test it.

To block all users from using torrents:
- go to CSM -- APP Enforcement Profile - select new profile (click on the number)
- put the profile name; select P2P -- tick bitTorrent -- press ok
- now that profile needs to be applied to firewall
- go to Firewall -- General Setup -- Default Rule; under APP Enforcement select profile you just created and press OK.

I will test it later and if there are issues, I will post them here
