I can ask the router to block sites based on keywords.  I have told it 
to block "bittorrent."

Then asking Google to search "bittorrent" results in a message:

    "Web Site Blocked by NETGEAR Firewall"


However I don't know how one logs onto bittorrent?  Assuming they have 
to address it by name that would impede them.
