I am planning to get seedbox and I was wondering if you need an IP blocker like Peer Guardian for a seedbox, or does the provider take care of that.

It's not needed.
(PG2 et al only provide a false sense of cover)
It maybe so, but I do see several instances of MPAA or related sites listed on the log file as being blocked. Is PG2 faking it or is it doing something useful?Quote:

There are many IP ranges in use by different anti-P2P companies and the like. PG knows a lot of those, and is indeed blocking them. Note that while it's definitely much better than going "naked", specially in public torrents, this system isn't flawless.Quote:
