Peer Guardian Stopped Something

["The Avatar Man"]

Connection forcefully closed on: ***.***.***.*** - BayTSP
I just got this on peer guardian
who is tsp and why are they on the blocklist?
does connection forcefully closed mean that they where successfully blocked?

BayTSP

connection forcefully closed means the connection to your computer got terminated that means they were blocked.

Shouldn't I NOT be able to view that site with Peergaurdian on?

I have updated it today and just checked out that website

check your peerguardian log, although you saw the site, like i just did, it blocked about 22 connections at the same time.

I have yet to see it block anything. I don't see a log to check though.
In the main large box it has info on the program and a web address and says "successfully loaded 4638481 IPs from 22 profiles"

But so far, never a blocked site.

Is there any ill to simply viewing this site without pg?
If so...

i could be wrong but all peer gaurdian does is just stop's people seeing your shared files when using kazaa and hogging your ports so when info is transfered riaa cant see you doing so.

i dont always use peer gaurdian as i have zone alarm pro which is my main firewall..... as i understand peergaudian acts in a similar way but you need to use other firewall's as well ie sygate or zone alarm pro.

Actually all peer guardian does is block certain IP adresses (ranges), for example, when I tryed to open the BayTSP page, I couldan't open it, and PG showed this:
"Connection forcefully closed on: ***.***.***.*** - BayTSP"

So it simply blocks the IP's, regardless if they are "going" to see your shared files or simply acces they'r page

p.s and my pg also blocks: "Successfully loaded 37013262 IPs from 25 profiles."
