Peer Gurdian 1.98b

Some IP's in the Database are mislabeled, I've seen that some people avatars on this site that are hosted elsewhere are listed as hostiles in PG. Keep in mind it is updated regularly. I have submitted several bad ranges which were removed in a couple of days. The PG Database is still at the moment the best we have.

You can read on it at http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/index.php?act...t=0#entry387264.

We are having some troubles with IP Ranges posted by users,
however we are trying to clean the database very often.

If you know of a bad range please let us know at

PG board

If you need help with firewalls, we have some guides that you can use for ZApro4 and Sygate

PS. and REALITY at his time we have no info about this range
38.0.0.0 - 38.255.255.255 where did you get the info ?

Ripper24,
Where can I get the guides for ZAP 4.0?

Also, since Peer Guardian was updated after the recent update of K-lite, does PG have to be updated outside of K-lite, or can the update for PG be done within K-lite?

Thanks in advance!

I have personally seen really evil Gnutella bots working in the 38.144.65.0 - 34.144.200.255 range. They came within an ace of making the Gnutella network totally useless (not that it's very great to begin with...)

38.0.0.0 - 38.255.255.255 is MUCH too large a range to block!

You can use the MS-DOS Prompt in Start>Run>command.com...just type in "netstat" along with whatever other commands and it'll give you a list of IP connections

Anyone else having trouble installing Peer Guardian or know a way to get around this. Every time I try to run the new version I get
Run-Time '432' (or '430') Error
File name or class name not found during Automation operation

I don't understand why this error is coming up since the older version of PG worked just fine and when I unistalled it, and installed the newest one, this pops up.

URGENT PLEASE RESPOND!

i found that on soulseeks message board in a topic that updates on bad ip's and used it to convert the bad ip list into a blocklist for kerio. It can do the same for any firewall and involves what's in the url. A simple click.

Here is a link that will convert the "Bad IP List" into a multitude of different formats for various firewalls and programs.

For info http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/index.php?showtopic=56120

Check out the script i mentioned on page 2 of the thread I mentioned to update the IPs (stick the batch file in your startup folder)

Edit: heres the batch file you need

@echo off

cd "c:\Program Files\PeerGuardian_1.96b\"

"PG_Update.vbs"

start PeerGuardian_1.96b.exe

exit

just replace paths\file names with your own.

and the vbs to automatically update:
