			Kaspersky v8 (2009) seem to have removed alot of the functionality of v7 in regards to specific blocking of applications to certain IP ranges as is required on campus. If anybody can work out how to do it on the newer versions please tell an op and we can try to knock together a guide.

	Due to the restrictions and threats of disconnections by ITS on campus, it is worth thinking about blocking all external connections to DC++ on campus. This does NOT guarantee safety from ITS on campus, but it will stop you using any external bandwidth and hopefully keep you a bit more under the radar.		Due to the restrictions and threats of disconnections by ITS on campus, it is worth thinking about blocking all external connections to DC++ on campus. This does NOT guarantee safety from ITS on campus, but it will stop you using any external bandwidth and hopefully keep you a bit more under the radar.
	Almost all the time, connections between on campus and off campus people are impossible due to the traffic shaper, so even without any kind of firewall rules in place you should not be transferring to or from somebody off campus. However, the connection attempts will be detected and blocked by the traffic shaper even if you do not see any transfers in DC++ (although ~~a connection may rarely~~ slip through the traffic shaper).		Almost all the time, connections between on campus and off campus people are impossible due to the traffic shaper, so even without any kind of firewall rules in place you should not be transferring to or from somebody off campus. However, the connection attempts will be detected, logged and subsequently blocked by the traffic shaper even if you do not see any transfers in DC++ (although sometimes connections slip through the traffic shaper causing even more problems for you).


	Firewalling off campus out is ~~only~~ intended as an extra layer of security, and does ~~not~~ guarantee you safety from ITS. We do believe that is is by far the best thing you can do though and recommend it to everybody.

	''Warning:'' This puts the whole of the Resnet into the firewall's "Trusted Zone" which is a really bad idea on the whole. So if somebody comes up with a way of allowing IPs JUST to DC++, pm astro/astropoint and I'll try to update the guide.

	Identical procedure to the 32 bit version, however slightly different rules to account for the different installation directory for the 64 bit version of Vista, specifically '''"C:\Program Files (x86)\DC++\DCPlusPlus.exe"'''. If you have installed DC++ to a directory other than this you will need to input the rules manually from the guide, obviously changing the path where appropriate.
