This doesn't seem to affect blocklists which are downloaded but local lists stored on your own hard disk. So in the case of adding a new block list you may not be protected by that list until you re-start Peer Block and if your removing a list you could still be blocking it even after you've removed it. The UI will refresh and say its been added or removed (whichever action you performed) but the program will continue as if you didn't do anything. If you add/remove a blocking list from the program it won't always actually do it. There is I guess 1 small bug that is annoying every now and again. But to be honest it runs great so I have no complaints.

I personally don't have any issues with Peer Block I run it on my Windows Server 2008 R2 (which only comes in 64-bit versions) and the requirement for a signed driver on all 64-bit versions of Windows (except XP/2003) meant that I had to use Peer Block, no choice.

Windows 7 came out after Peer Guardian became dilapidated. Now usually this would be fine except that Peer Guardian requires a driver to be loaded and they do not have a driver that works on Windows 64-bit (Vista / Win 7) and also due to its low-level nature it is very temperamental when it meets an operating system it was not designed for. Peer Guardian is 'Abandon-ware' hasn't been updated in 3 years. The main reason for running Peer Block is that it's still under development. This way you will be protected against your lists being corrupted while downloading them.

List Verification - After downloading an updated list, we'll now make sure that the file contains at least one ip-address range before we'll overwrite your old list. Save Settings - We've added a "Save" button to the settings panel, so that you can be sure your settings updates have been saved. (This is due to performance reasons, as the tool will consume considerably more CPU if displaying of allowed connections is enabled.) We are still logging the first 9 allowed packets though, so that you know that we're actually working! Updated List Manager - Reworked this window a bit, to make it easier to get back to the lists originally presented to you in the Startup Wizard.Īllowed Connections Displayed - By default, the "Show allowed connections" option will be disabled. Most importantly, it should actually work now, even during uninstall! (Not that you'll ever want to uninstall PeerBlock, of course, but just in case.) Installer Rewrite - Our newest Dev Team member, XhmikosR, has pretty much completely rewritten the installer from scratch. Also note that the "Gov" list has been removed, since its contents were merged with the "P2P" list long ago.

They are faster, and are much more reliable - no more "Error contacting URL" messages! We will also upgrade your pre-existing lists from hosted ones to ones. IBlocklist Lists - We've updated our standard list URLs to point at lists instead of the original ones. Signed Driver - We now have a signed driver! If you're using a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or 7, you will no longer need to test-sign the driver, or hit F8 during boot, or anything else. Here are the highlights, you can check out the Changes page for more details. Many, many changes are present in this release versus the most recent Stable Release, PeerBlock 0.9.2 (r86). I did try the primary threats blocklist which was at the time the only blocklist that contained the Trident Media Guard ip ranges that was reported about on torrent freak recently, but i found the primary threats list blocked msn lol but i dont know maybe thats a good thing ?Īnyway there is a section of lists here with info about the authors and so forth.Īs regards checking lists for dynamic ips are you trying to keep me busy for the next few years ? lol I have just found good comments around different network forums about certain blocklists.

But there is a forum on the site and a section for suggestions and ideas aswell as the source code As regards blocklists i persoanlly use the ipfilterX lists but i think it is maybe up to people to decide by reading up on the list authors information as to wether they want to use a list or not. From what i can make out peerblock has pretty much been re written on the basis of peerguardian i have personally had not problems with it like with peerguardian when it use to crash and slow the computer from closing down etc.

I was not aware there was an issue with peerguardian 1 day update ? if you mean does peerblock have the option to auto update every 1 day then yes it does.
