In as all my LANs uses nat, and i actually don't want to block it, i use natd with lots of redirect_port options. i give 3 ports to every user, most of that programs allows to specify what ports are 1:1 mapped to outside. at least bittorrent compatible things. torrent-compatible P2P programs are most usable of them. IMHO the only usable.
