Linux version seems to be still developed: last version, 2.3.1, was released in November 2015. Windows and Mac version are no longer developed and outdated: useless for Mac due to the evolution from IPW to PF internal firewall structure from 10.10 Yosemite on; for Windows PeerBlock, a continuation of PeerGuardian's development, is recommended by the developer. Mac alternative to PeerBlock. Alright ladies i just got finished talking to my uncle who both educated me and scared the shit out of me. Is there anything similar to peerblock for mac users? Save hide report. This thread is archived. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast.

PeerBlock is a free and open-sourcepersonal firewall that blocks packets coming from, or going to, a maintained list of black listed hosts.[2] PeerBlock is the Windows successor to the software PeerGuardian (which is currently maintained only for Linux).[3] It blocks incoming and outgoing connections to IP addresses that are included on blacklists (made available on the Internet), and to addresses specified by the user.[3] PeerBlock mainly uses blacklists provided by iblocklist.com.
Development[edit]
This article will help you pick the best possible Peerblock alternative (which will hide your torrents better than Peerblock ever did) Peerblock is a popular IP blocking program, which (until recently) was used frequently by bittorrent users.
PeerBlock 1.0 is based on the same code as PeerGuardian 2 RC1 Test3 Vista version.[3] It adds support for 32- and 64-bit Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. When the PeerGuardian project ended, its developer Phoenix Labs encouraged current PeerGuardian users to migrate to PeerBlock.[4]
PeerBlock is under development by a small team of developers led by Mark Bulas.[5] 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.
Introduced in 2017, Peerblocklist.com offers modern blocklists in p2p format that are compatible with Peerblock
Features[edit]
Peerblock Linux
PeerBlock has multiple features in the latest version of the program. These include a constantly updating blocklist managed by the home site and a manager that lets you choose which lists to include in the block. The program allows for a user to turn on and off both IP and HTTP trackers as well as including a log showing the time, source, IP address, destination, and protocol of the tracker. A list of settings allows users to both customize their program's interface as well as its operations.[citation needed]
Until September 2013, I-Blocklist, the supplier of the blocking lists PeerBlock uses, supported unlimited free list updating. Since September 2013 updates were limited to once weekly, except to paid subscribers. PeerBlock is hard-coded to use I-Blocklist lists and has entered into a revenue-sharing agreement with I-Blocklist.[6] In late 2015 blocklists were no longer available without payment of a subscription.[7]
In late 2017, peerblocklist.com began offering free blocklists against malicious hosts and ad-servers to Peerblock and Peerguardian users.[8]
