Mind if I ask, what you are being protected from? Does blocking a list of known "bad/evil/government" addresses really do any good? Wouldn't the people looking for "you" simply use a dynamic or an unknown address, since they can download the same list you are using and use one not on the list until it's added? This way you will be protected against your lists being corrupted while downloading them.ĭownload: PeerBlock 1.1 (Both x86 and 圆4 versions) * 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! * Allowed Connections Displayed - By default, the "Show allowed connections" option will be disabled. * 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. 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 most important changes present in this new Stable Release, as compared to our previous Stable Release PeerBlock 1.0 (r181).
