  • @TellinTheTruth uh no.

    peer guardian stops ALL incoming connections thats on its blacklist.

    meaning it will never connect to "others" on utorrent, if they are on the blacklist, thus never getting your ip to begin with.

    This is not fullproof but should add some layer

  • @1981jilly LOL

  • @TellinTheTruth can u give a link to a proxy or how to use one?

  • THIS IS INCORRECT.

    P2P e.g. utorrent needs to connect to others so they all have your IP address. So all they have to do is put out a fake download and record all the IP addresses logged in as seeds/peers and then contact your ISP!

    Peerblock/gaurdian only stops incoming connections from browser for eg.

    only way to be anon is to go through a proxy unfortunately is very slow!

  • Peerguardian is shit. It will give you blue-screens. Use peerblock its essentially the same thing, built from the same sourcecode, But is 100% stable!

  • Tech Tip: Free VPS are FREE for a reason. Buy a real one, ffs.

  • peerguardian 2 is outdated, peerblock is like peerguardian 3

  • BT guard works with wireless too i use it now :P
