We would like to enable itunes for students, but would like to know if
it is possible to disable the Radio to prevent its use. Anyone know
of a way to do this either through itunes or firewall?
According to that, it uses ports from 8000 to 8999 and from 42000 to
42999.
I'd guess that one set are incoming and the other set are outgoing.
An alternative, one which will fox most iTunes users, would be to stop
iTunes from constructing its list of the available radio stations. It
does this by consulting the server on 17.254.4.130. So if you block
traffic to this address it might do something interesting.
The efficient way to do this would be to tell a single firewall, router,
or switch at the edge of your network to drop all traffic on these
ports.
