PeerBlock is a type of program known as an "IP Blocker" (Wikipedia article). IP addresses (Wikipedia article) are used to identify a computer whenever it connects to the internet.
PeerBlock lets you control who your computer "talks to" on the Internet. By selecting appropriate lists of "known bad" computers, you can block communication with advertising or spyware oriented servers, computers monitoring your p2p activities, computers which have been "hacked", even entire countries! They can't get in to your computer, and your computer won't try to send them anything either.
And best of all, it's free!Whenever you are downloading be sure to have some protection like "PeerBlock" PeerBlock is a new version (aka a "fork") of the popular Peer Guardian 2 software. It blocks "known bad" computers from accessing yours, for example governments, corporate entities, and those flagged for anti-p2p activities. Peer Block maintains the functionality of the original Peer Guardian 2 program, but includes fixes for various issues that remain unaddressed in the latest (~2 year old) version of PG2.

| User Reviews: User interface/friendliness In general, the Aztech's router UI is not cluttered, clean and fast loading. Good n enjoyable when doing configuring. Here are some screenshots http://i38.tinypic.com/2ekomye.jpg http://i34.tinypic.com/24xdijd.jpg The aztech router comes with option/function which are advanced despite detailed explanation in the manual. This may pose problems to new users, such options can be ignored though, because the Setup Wizard will do~! :) WIFI function The aztech has in its firmware, the function of AP, bridge and repeating/WDS. This is a definitely worth buy since you probably wont get it in other N routers! DDNS Users of other DDNS server will be disappointed. Because options available are only DynDNS and 3322[??] Port forwarding It may look normal, however an issue has arise as would be mentioned in the Misc/Rant section. Source |
