install linblock on amd64

[Josef K.]

linblock (http://www.dessent.net/linblock/), like peerguardian, is a sw that automatically update iptables to block malicious ip

it need 3 perl module ( Net::IP, IPTables::IPv4, and LWP::Simple ) to setup properly
unfortunately I cannot find an amd64 version of IPTables::IPv4
it's supposed to be libiptables-ipv4-ipqueue-perl but seems there's no amd64 package, and cpan failed the manual installation

it there anybody using linblock on amd64 that can help me? :-k

i cant get it to work on 32 bit either :/

if your problem is just dependancies, on 32bit you can forget cpan and install via apt libraries you need
just make a search in http://packages.ubuntu.com to find in which packages are they

I wonder once installed how it works
on windows peerguardian doesn't take too much resources and don't slow down so much the connection, but under linux I've heard about lots of pg crashes, that's why I maked a try to linblock, but liblock uses iptables, so I guess things could be dramatically slow down :-k

Linblock eh?

Interesting concept......given a few weeks to play about with it, I'll be able to tell you what this thing is capable of :)
