was looking around for sum PG2 info with win7 and found this little guy. A LOT of bug fixes from PG2 to this. it's an active project from the same ppl who did PG2 that works with vista, vista64, win7 & win7 64. i still use PG2 (it's my placebo), so hearing about PB i jumped on. works just like PG2 and is faster! those who use PG2 or stopped cuz of incompatibility issues here's the new and improved version.
PeerBlock
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Last time I tried PG on my computer, if you closed the it the driver would lock up, and I'd have to restart my PC for it to work again. The included "repair" tool wouldn't do anything, either - so I dropped PG in favor of P2PFire before I stopped using global IP blocking.Quote:

Even though I don't know much about PB, it'd be my first recommendation to anyone looking for IP blocking software, especially when dealing with P2P.
If you're using the official blocklist, you can check this by trying to visit RIAA.org. If it doesn't load, it's working.Quote:

I'm curious about some that are blocked like Cricket Com , I do see Recording Ind. tho and glad that's blocked . Thanx Nails
Strange how it blocks ForumW , I just click allow for 15 minutes and browse away .
The "allow ports 80/443" setting comes useful for this... you can browse sites hosted on offending IP ranges, but all communication on other ports will keep on being blocked.Quote:
