Time for an update? ; )

I remember checking out p2p anonymity a few years back. Peerguardian seemed to be the only viable option. But I abandoned it again for Vista required explicit permission to automatically start. Sigh, Vista... Anyways, on W8 nowadays, x64 even, thought I'd try it out once more.

Only to see it crash :) I'll re-edit if I find a solution (after the reboot).
RE-EDIT: no solution, driver does not get installed! Support for PeerGuardian has stopped.

BUT I do have some more information to add... Besides the list offered by the setup, you can add custom lists - also dynamically maintained. Some commercial, most free. Check them out here: http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=ijfqtofzixtwayqovmxn&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz . Don't add them all, or you will be unable to visit the piratebay, the whitehouse or microsoft ;p

Concerning modifying hosts file: do not do it.

You need a large list -> a big hosts file. And Windows does not like that. Internet can become impossibly slow. Will become impossibly slow. Even with registry settings to limit DNS cache: it's just NOT the way to go. Sorry (k)

Any new p2p privacy project out there? Do let us know :)

Enjoy and...


Karma!

newsgroups (usenet) are a much more secure way to go. no uploading !! and with nzb files things are much easier not than before.

Good stuff
