Yes.

Not altq(It is for QoS).

But pf can of course. :)

localip =  "www.shoutcast.com"
radioport = 554
block quick out on fxp0 proto tcp from any to $remoteip port $radioport 

Here is an example for you lift and plonk into your /etc/pf.conf. :)

Best of luck!

Obviously the IP and port are fictitious.

This will block all the incoming traffic from any internal IP to the
online radio service.

Hope this helps.

What is the port for online radio? Many use http. If you want to block
RTSP, then I guess it should be 554
