Moblock (peerguardian linux alternative)

[jamesford]

ur right, it does block it! and it also now block the other sites ive been trying (riaa.com etc)

ah now i get it, i just rebooted and hadnt started firestarter yet, and now ive started firestarter moblock blocks nothing again. so it seems that moblock eliminates firesterter and the toher way around (whichever app was last started overrules the other)

[smartalecks]

jamesford; could you 'tail -f /var/log/moblock.log' and connect to http://relay.slayradio.org:8000/ using beep-media-player or whatever? I get blocked if I do. A couple of times at least, then i get connected from a different ip.
Also, if i'm not mistaken you can do sudo '/etc/init.d/moblock-nfq status'

hoped but no

'sudo /etc/init.d/moblock-nfq' reports as only:

moblock-nfq start
moblock-nfq stop
moblock-nfq restart
moblock-nfq force-reload

what does it mean when the log says skipping useless range ?
Skipping useless range: www.68737075.com
Skipping useless range: www.neededware.com
Skipping useless range: roings.com[Hijack-Spy]
Skipping useless range: www.aaathemes.com[Spy]
Skipping useless range: mymaydayinc.com[CWS]
for example

these wont be blocked ? and if so why not if they are in the bluetack blocklist?

[gpogo]

I'm having a similar issue. Nothing is being blocked.
I am running Dapper Drake

if anyone has any idea I'd love to get this working

jamesford; useless ranges are usually duplicate ranges.
As for moblock and firestarter not working very well together, im no iptables guru, so i would let someone who knows iptables better than me point out what to do. The startup script is (with iptable rules), is as you probably know by now, in /etc/moblock/MoBlock-nfq.sh

gpogo; can't help you there. Theres something wrong with loading the correct modules i suspect. do 'dmesg | grep nfq' and 'dmesg | grep NFQ' (case sensetive...)

great thanx a lot! I've been looking for a linux alternative to peerguardian.

pinoyskull: Are you using breezy? If so, you should install moblock-ipq instead...
If you are running a kernel > 2.6.15, could you run 'lsmod | grep NFQUEUE'.
Run 'sudo ls /etc/moblock'. I want to see if all files are there.

1. Im running Dapper

2.
root@destiny:~# lsmod | grep NFQUEUE
ipt_NFQUEUE 1920 3
ip_tables 23744 3 iptable_filter,ipt_NFQUEUE,ipt_stat
root@destiny:~#


3. ls /etc/moblock
guarding.p2p guarding.p2p.backup MoBlock-nfq.sh


i did a reboot and found out that moblock is now working, i dont know what happened

[smoove]

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv DEDA0559
gpg --export --armor DEDA0559 | sudo apt-key add -

Hi do I just copy and paste that into sources.list? If so, Im getting erros in terminal:
"Type ‘gpg’ is not known on line 34 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list"

you have to enter that in the console like so

sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv DEDA0559
sudo gpg --export --armor DEDA0559 | sudo apt-key add -

- the first command will pause for a bit, wait till it returns to the console then enter the 2nd one

[pelle.k]

smoove; No. gpg is a command line utility. So you should run it in a terminal, not put it in sources.list. I'll make it more obvious in the howto. thanks.

gpogo; I suggest you reboot your computer and check again, as pinoyskull did

pinoyskull; great to hear it resolved itself...

jamesford; You know what. Today, in the name of all that is good, i'll install firestarter and take a look at what iptable rules it spits out. Maybe i can solve this moblock/firestarter issue (if it's still a problem that is...)
