PeerGuardian

The PeerGuardian software is a program that helps you protect yourself from potentially dangerous IP addresses. This program blocks communication with these addresses, reducing the risk that your computer could be attacked.

PeerGuardian is a useful tool for anyone who uses the Internet. It is especially important for users who download files from peer-to-peer networks such as BitTorrent. These networks are often the target of attacks because they allow users to share files with other users.

PeerGuardian works by maintaining a database of potentially dangerous IP addresses. These addresses are generated by PeerGuardian users who have reported that these addresses have been used in attacks. The program then blocks communication with these addresses.

PeerGuardian is a simple program to use. Just download and install it. Then you need to update the database of potentially dangerous IP addresses. Updates to the database are available on the PeerGuardian website.
