Peerblock Information

PeerBlock is a free software firewall application. PeerBlock is the successor to PeerGuardian (which is no longer actively maintained[1]). It blocks incoming and outgoing connections to Internet IP addresses that are included on blocklists accessible over the Internet which may be selected by the user, but also any addresses manually specified by the user.[1] PeerBlock mainly works in tandem with the blocklist provider iblocklist.com.

Development

PeerBlock 1.0 is based on the same code as PeerGuardian 2 RC1 Test3 Vista version.[1] It adds support for 32- and 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7. When the PeerGuardian project ended, its developer Phoenix Labs encouraged current PeerGuardian users to migrate to PeerBlock.[2]

PeerBlock is under development by a small team of developers led by Mark Bulas.[3] Hosting, as well as the signed driver, is funded by donations from the public. Future donations are intended to contribute to future signed drivers, hosting and to possibly rent a virtual private server on which the team should be able to build a "real" online-update feature for future releases of PeerBlock.
