You can block all incomming traffic your external interface. I only block downloads on extentions (*.zip, *.exe, *.rar, etc.) with my squid proxy server. Cheers, Sebastian

If you have files in the webserver (apache) you can restrict access to them in the configuration file. If somebody wanted to access one directory (http://localhost/files/) they would need a password that you would set in your computer.
