p2pnet - rss feed: PeerGuardian back online
p2p news / p2pnet: After a brief hiatus, PeerGuardian is back online.
It went down on Sunday leading to speculation that earlier internal strife may have been the cause.
However, founder Tim Leonard told p2pnet he thought a DNS problem was probably responsible, and this has now been confirmed by Joseph Farthing.
"Our old server was having some issues keeping up with the high traffic, so we just finished moving to a faster one," posts phrosty on the new Phoenix Labs site.
Meanwhile, "We are working hard to get our blocklists back online and hope to have something within a week," he says.
Stay tuned.

This whole peerguardian thingy is nothing but snake oil. Even worse it seems to be used for personal grudges as well:

And for those of you who can’t even see that page because you brainiacs have to use peerguardian:

Important:
Also it has been reported to me that thebeehives server has been added to the p2p blocklist (because the people at bluetack seem to have a personal vendeta against the LARGEST datacenter in the world and decided to block EVERY site hosted by them).
Please add an exemption in your PG/PW for the following ip’s…
64.92.165.130, 64.92.165.131, 64.92.165.132, 64.92.165.133 and 64.92.165.134.
All these ips are DIRECTLY under MY control, so they will not bee used by anti p2p people as thouse arragent bastards at bluetack think (i have asked them to remove the ips and got a ruther rude response from there staff).

well I tell you what, just let MediaCentry, Paramount, fake servers, IANA Reserves, DreamCity Media, HBO, NetSentry, Chevron Corporation, and whoever wants to connect to you to and don’t get pissed if they get your ass for something. I don’t want the following companies downloading anything I seed or upload. As for Chevron, they are trying to get Tesla Experiments from me as well as free energy information probably so they can sue me for jeprodizing their oil scams.

If they really wanted to they can do it anyway, whether you block the well known ones or not. So yes I pretty much let whoever wants to connect to me and don’t worry I won’t get pissed off. People should either make a stand for it or don’t do it at all instead of trying to hide in the shadows like common criminals.
And how about those sites that are being blocked that have nothing to do with all this? If you are going to let somebody police your connectivity you better make sure they don’t use it for their own grudges. Not to mention explain their actions instead of becoming rude when asked.

As long as I can download stuff at high speeds without any problems, I’ll continue to use PeerGuardian. I like it, and it works just fine and dandy. Tons of blocked IP’s show up whenever I’m downloading something from a bittorrent swarm (quick plug: take a look at uTorrent folks!) and that’s a good thing. Maybe not for the ones being blocked, but it’s certainly good for me heh. Besides, what do I care about those on the block list? As long as it isn’t me, I’ll remain happy to use it, and recommend it to others. Even if it is snake oil, the power of placebo can be a power for good too lol. Besides, if pepople didn’t believe in it, and lots obviously do, there would likely be a lot less downloaders and uploaders out there than there are today because you just know these same people who believe in PG wouldn’t bother unless they felt protected some how.

To me it seems still pretty much offline.

That is a pretty good description of snake oil you are giving there, but hey as long as you feel safe, you must be safe!
I hope you become one of the people blocked for no good reason, I’ll bet that will probably change your mind in a heartbeat. When they came for the jews…

“That is a pretty good description of snake oil you are giving there, but hey as long as you feel safe, you must be safe!”
Oh, but I most certainly do feel safe! I just love all those IP’s that scroll along in my blocked list. It feels good knowing that the connection was simply dropped for these folks, making me appear stealthed to them, as if I don’t exist at all. Yup, feels good to be safe, even though it’s just an illusion. Oh, hey! Was that your IP address I just saw scroll by there? :-p
“I hope you become one of the people blocked for no good reason, I’ll bet that will probably change your mind in a heartbeat.”
Maybe, but I doubt it. What percentage of file swappers to you think actually use (or even know about) PG? And what makes you think I don’t have other choices when it comes to my internet service provider, as well as how I connect, and what networks I connect to?
“When they came for the jews…”
What the hell does that have anything to do with PG? For the love of God, please make some sense already, would ya?

Block all the IP addresses in your country through Peerguardian & open port 80 for surfing. That way, no company from your country can sue you & you share with everyone else not on the blocklists.
