jalaffa Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 <img src="http://nsanedown.com/images/logos/PeerBlock.png" class="logo" alt="PeerBlock" title="PeerBlock" />PeerBlock lets you control who your computer "talks to" on the Internet. By selecting appropriate lists of "known bad" computers, you can block communication with advertising or spyware oriented servers, computers monitoring your p2p activities, computers which have been "hacked", even entire countries! They can't get in to your computer, and your computer won't try to send them anything either. PeerBlock currently supports Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, and 7 in 32-bit and 64-bit.Note: New addition to our listings.<a href="http://www.nsanedown.com/?request=34602678" target="_blank">Download</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 29, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 29, 2009 I was gonna try this now but I saw that it's Beta. I saw the changelog and found that there are many reason that wont make me use the Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 It's working fine. It's better than PeerGuardian 2, which crashed all the time on 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC8 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I know it's very early in development but I'm going to check this out. Peerguardian's junk. I stopped using it ages ago because it crashed constantly and was never getting updated to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobrPatty Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 @DKT27 I'm a moderator on PeerBlocks forums.http://forums.peerblock.com/index.phpAnd wanted to let you know PeerBlock has come a long ways in just a few months. I would not think twice about using the beta. There has been a whole lot of improvements and fixes done. I've been a tester sense the very beginning and this PeerBlock is a solid and stable software. Hope you will check it out I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpua Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I was using the previous beta of PB and it was great and now it's even better. Don't be afraid of their betas. They are very stable and FANTASTICLY better than PG was (at least on x64 systems). Now the system tray icon turns yellow when HTTP is not being blocked. Cool. And the app notifies you when there are updates available, including beta updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 29, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 29, 2009 Good to know RoboParty. :)Well I'm usin PeerBlock stable version for torrents. And it crashes everyday.

My game's gonna released tomorrow and will see how PeerBlock works when I'll download it. ;)BTW how can I report crashes to PeerBlock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said anyway you want including email but I think there may be a link in the app. Not sure about that though.Newest beta hasn't crashed yet for me on W7 x64. On 7 when things crash, they usually don't crash the whole system, the app just closes and restarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 29, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 29, 2009 OK. I'll. Well no crashes so far. As I haven't downloaded any torrent yet. Well I have disabled HTTP. Can you clarify it. Does HTTP also block bad connections in torrents? Or is it just for normal internet usage. What I don't like when I kept HTTP on, McAfee SiteAdvisor was bein blocked. SiteAdvisor is not bad.ANW as you recommended, I'm registerin on the forums. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobrPatty Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The only time I block HTTP is when I'm torrenting and am not surfing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpua Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Same here. That said, you can customize your blocklists and allow sites that are on the block list but you know are safe. I have allowed lots of sites that are on the block list but I need to frequently access. But generally, I only block http while torrenting.
