Re: how to block ALL AIM traffic ?

Decent application level filters can block proxies such as socks
connections and HTTP tunneling software. The hardest ones are the ones
the use the "CONNECT" method which most SSL sites use in order to
function through web proxies.

That can be blocked by only allowing the CONNECT method on port 443 and
restricting SSL connections to required servers such as banks, airlines
or other approved sites by managers.
