You can lock your network down all you want but without getting help from
your provider you cannot keep packets from the Internet from entering your
WAN connection and eating your bandwidth.
I can assure you that no matter how locked down your network, anyone
anywhere in the world can flood your link, even if every packet that reaches
your router/firewall is blocked. The only way to block the traffic from
reaching your WAN line is to block it at the provider level.
This is what the poster asked in the original question, how to keep traffic
which he is already blocking from "choking his leased line".

anything... I have my network totally locked down and I didn't ask my
provider squat...
