HOWTO: Peerguardian Installation and automatic updates

[Aussie]

Something's wrong with your peerguardian

So should mine be reading like yours? Or will it look like that when someone trys to connect with my system?

Thanks.

Well, if you open a p2p program it's for sure peerguardian should show blocked packets. Try it.

I just opened limewire and did a search, and nothing has changed. The log still reads:


Reading blocklist
detected ASCII blocklist
Entering daemon mode
Allowing all traffic on port 80
Blocking 42555 ranges (636415032 IP addresses)
error: $

I followed the instructions, did I miss something?

[Bloot]

Maybe restarting the script it will work

sudo peerguardian.sh restart

[Aussie]

Just restarted it and this is what I get:

P.S I also reinstalled the .deb but I still don't think its working. Does it have anything to do with the router that my computer is hooked up to?

Thanks,

Just got it to work, must have been either reinstalling the deb or restarting it that fixed it.

Thanks again.

Peerguardian stops me from being able to use SSL websites for some reason.

[OT]Firestarter is excellent, apart from the fact it makes no distinction whatsoever between UDP/TCP, which IMO is a showstopper. Why should I open two ports, when I only need one?!

[Locutus]

I followed the instructions from the howto and I cannot SSH into my box anymore. Any ideas?

Oh now i see why everyione thinks its working, you lot are just using the command line, oh man

http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?scre...c176d&m=screen


This is how i know its working or not (yea yea i know vista like)

I start the entire thing with "sudo alltray /usr/bin/peerguardnf2/peerguardnf2" Alltray puts the GUI in the system tray and when i click he close button on the window border it goes back to the system try (the system tray is not in view, it autohides in the bottom right hand corder, its vertical)

It clearly shows if the daemon is active, Then in the "Root configuration" remove all the allowed ports (80 is default) then go to the IRAA site, and you can't, do a sygate scan and it shows everything is closed" not blocked,

Then stop it and the ports are back to blocked again

See what i mean, i turned it on in the middle of a scan

Did you try allowing port 443?
