ah, but Peerblock is only for Windows fans:)

the main reason for peerguardian is killing unnecessary traffic or potentially dangerous traffic (advertising, googleanalytics and so on).

I want a peerblock that automatically blocks *all* IPs and only allows them at my permission; i.e. I want a white-list only peerblock.

I installed Peerblock and think it runs great updates everytime, unlike pg2 didn’t. One thing that irritates me is that when you exit peerblock it stays running. If you try to reboot says end program now, so its still running but not accessable. Try this and you will know what I am saying. Otherwise works Gr8t.

*obvious comment about the superiority of iptables*

some operating systems come with configurable built-in firewalls, so filtering is not a big issue; the real value of PeerBlock comes from the list management

See industry, people are INVESTING into piracy instead of YOUR REVENUE STREAM because you are shutting them out and not giving them flatrate based content subscription models.

All this crap, peer blocking soft, VPNs, etc? Money gone that you could be earning if you stopped being pricks and prosecting customers and instead made them a real DEAL.

I blame the industry for everything that happens to them, period.

Why don’t you guys block the obvious 12 year old that is, according to your on rules, posting spam, being an oh so obvious troll and generally polluting this post. Really I would like to know.

And if people want to use this software whether its “100%” or not, let them, if it helps at all it is better than nothing and how does it hurt you if they do. What a bunch of effing a55 packers you all are!

After abandoning PG2 for a couple years, I recently started using PeerBlock, and it’s working very well, as far as what it’s designed to do. It’s stable, doesn’t hog CPU, it gets blocklists automatically, and it filters traffic from the blocked IPs, just like PG2 did. I can even run Wireshark at the same time and inspect the traffic being blocked. The effectiveness of the program, though, with respect to P2P, is measured by the effectiveness of the Bluetack anti-P2P blocklist that it uses. As others have pointed out above, there are no guarantees, and many ways such lists are ineffective. However what I’ve observed when connected to a file-sharing network is that the majority of anti-p2p traffic it blocks are SYN and RST packets, a denial-of-service attack apparently intended to result in TCP connections being held open, the result being fewer new connections can be made until a timeout of several minutes. Blocking these kind of bogus TCP/IP shenanigans seems like a good idea, so I will continue to use Peerblock, although I wish it were running on my wifi router instead…

Using this on private tracker and no effect.

I turn on a thepiratebay torrent and BOOM media sentry, spam harvester etc

it’s useful but not 100%… but i’ll be using it from now because i use public torrents sometimes and it helps a little.

They can see you, but you can’t see them. One of the first things an anti-piracy operation does each week is check the publicly available P2P blacklist against all the IP addresses they own, specifically cross referencing the ones used for investigatory purposes. While the address of their business site and all affiliations will more than likely be on such lists, the private IP addresses used for tracking infringers very rarely are. Come on, did you honestly think they were stupid enough to not understand how reverse DNS lookups work? Using IP addresses that can be easily attributed to them would be like law enforcement putting up a big neon sign that flashes the words “We’re watching you!” above themselves while on a stakeout. Blacklists are about as effective as airbags in an fighter jet would be.
