Ronin Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Does anyone know a good IP Blocker? I currently use PG2 and lately I've been reading that it is considered Maleware by various av's. I don't know if thats true or not but I'd still like to try others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted March 6, 2008 Administrator Share Posted March 6, 2008 Some firewalls have IP blocking capabilities built in or add-ons available for them (ie Online Armor, Outpost/Blockpost and Comodo).However, Peer Guardian is clean and free of malware.

lal krishna Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Another good one is Protowall.But it is a pain in the ass to installhttp://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonon Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Eset once had an update which made PG2 malware because PG2 blocked their update server.But that problem is already solved and PG2 is safe to use.But I actually wonder how much these IP blocking softwares really work..

Jman123 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I never really used those with bittorrent, back when I was using Limewire and Ares I did like Protowall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonon Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Thansk for the info dllhost, was really usefull.But I don't recommend your method. Windows just hates when you start to tweak it's files and really becomes unstable. Also it doesn't auto-update, and it is really a pain to get all those millions of IP's.

RobrPatty Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Phoenixlabs has a PG2-rc1-test2-2 that will work on Vista. You have to do a few tweaks here and there but it will work.BTW they are looking for some coders to help finish building PG3. If you are interested go to there site and pm PepsiOneor fakhir.

harpua Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Phoenixlabs has a PG2-rc1-test2-2 that will work on Vista. You have to do a few tweaks here and there but it will work.BTW they are looking for some coders to help finish building PG3. If you are interested go to there site and pm PepsiOneor fakhir.I've been using the PG beta release mentioned in the quote above that works on Vista x64. It is a pain because it doesn't always load properly and if you try to do anything with it while you are downloading torrents, it is likely to crash. But if you get it up and running and are careful, it works quite well.For me it is my second line of defense, the first being the built in IP blocker in Vuze (Azeurus).But I have a sort of newbie question: Assuming one is blocking effectively with recently updated lists, how safe is it to download movie and TV show torrents?And also, does anyone know how to get the built in IP blocker in Vuze to use more than one list?

Bizarre™ Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I only use IP blockers when downloading files from torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoKz Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 even if you use some kind of IP blocker on Torrent it would be very hard because when you download of torrent your IP is shown to ALL downloading the same thing... :dance2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackLine Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I dont have any IP blocker installed. Should I install one?A long time ago I had PG2. Is this one still good or you suggest me another one? -> Vista x64! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumant30 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I used PG-2 but i don't think its as effective as it is used to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobrPatty Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 BlackLine if you use torrents alot then it's a must to use PG2. With the way ISP's are being forced to track torrent users and cut their service if caught downloading illicit material. It's a must to use some kind of defense. I use PG2 with my vista x 64 and also use ip blocker built in to utorrent. Of course I don't download illicit material........but it's a good precaution.

BlackLine Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah I do use torrents alot. Circa 20GB/per day downloadings.BTW: Which version of PG2 using? Beta or final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpua Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Windows XP = PG2Vista = nothing is out for this system.,.. lolThere is a version of PG2 that runs on vista x86 and x64. You have to do some tweaking to get it to work, however, and as I said above, it's still a little buggy but you can get it to run and it is a heck of lot better than nothing. Here's a link with instructions on how to do it.http://forums.phoenixlabs.org/showthread.p...8788#post108788I also use the built in IP Filters in Vuze and PG2 on Vista x64, just to insure my privacy, not because I would download any copyrighted material either, of course.

LoKz Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Right... None of us.. but PG2 i know they have one for vista and there is tweak the reason why it does not work on vista is because of there driver.. its not fully done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
