Well it blocks the same way pwall does (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc), and blocks the same IP's. The upper hand that it has, is that its not hard to install, it dosent block almost every site you goto, and it dosent make every site you goto slower.

I like it, and i barley know its runnig, till i open it and see the log.

It doesn't block the same way. Protowall blocks on a server level. And I wouldn't recommend using the Peerguardian blocklists - they have no idea why they block certain IPs. In half an hour of use, I found Yahoo to be blocked, the firefox support forum and a couple of other sites I know to be 'safe'.

Get the Blocklist manager from Bluetack
http://www.bluetack.co.uk/modules.ph...showpage&pid=1
and block what you want to block.

I'll use PG2 until the new Protowall beta comes out, then switch back probably.

PG2 blocks some crappy sites and your complaining? I installed protowall, and it blocked its own site. Talk about not knowing what it blocks. It blocks half the sites i goto, and slows down my connection. I rather have PG blocking a couple sites then most.

zero protowall problems here, and zero sites being blocked I dont want blocked, never know its on, and it never made any site go slower that i've noticed. in saying that, am gonna give pg a go again, it's been a while, be nice if it worked, never used to :).

edit: ah never mind, edited the edit........

you can right click the PG tray icon, and tell it not to block HTTP protocal if theres any problems. :)

Yeah blocklists.org fuckinf sucks. it took me over two weeks to find out that it was because of it and peer guardian 2 why, why the images on this site wouldnt load up, puretna.com ( puretna.com is a private tracker site that's dedicated to porn, just like empornium.us) .... i'll try vargas' suggestion..
