Untangle Web Filter does not block protocols that can “hop ports.” However, Protocol Control, another module that runs the Untangle platform, does block “port hopping” traffic and comes preconfigured with dozens of signatures that block popular IM clients, games like World Warcraft and peer-2-peer applications like BitTorrent.
