Pfft. My ISP got two nastygrams from the MPAA for people riding on my open WiFi, and said on the third one they'd shut me down, so secure it immediately.
What's my recourse? Not sure I have any.

- sigil 16y agoI had big problems with bittorrent and QoS back when I ran an open network. It's not uncommon for remote seeds to run on an alternate port like 22 or 443 to get past their own firewalls. At that point, you have to do deep packet inspection, and I'm not sure how feasible this is on consumer grade routers.
