Is this like a portable
Is this like a portable Firewall?
Live for an ideal and leave no place in the mind for anything else.
Peerblock is an IP blocker, a special type of firewall
Peerblock is an IP blocker meant to block ads, trackers, and protect privacy. It runs using lists of IPs, some of which are built in options and many others which can be downloaded at Peerblock lists at I-BlockList. Run Peerblock, load the lists you want, and start Interneting. Warning: many of these lists will produce "false blocks" but the Peerblock icon blinks every time it blocks so you know it's Peerblock and can create a temp or permanent allow if you actually want that IP to come through. Also, I've had network admins express a strong dislike for IP blockers since in the hands of a novice it can create lots of support tickets. But once you know how to use it (which lists, adding exceptions) and have the right expectation that Peerblock must be part of a multi-layered security approach, it's great!
Nice one...
Thanks for the detailed description

Thanks for Peerblock!
This is great - no more maintaining 3 versions of Peerblock and copying conf files and lists between folders. This portable version runs on XP, Win7-32, and Win7-64 - all with the same config and lists! Thanks again, this is really helpful.
The Goal
That's the goal
It required a bit of custom coding to ensure it worked properly, but we thought this would be much easier for our users. It even works on Windows 2000.

PeerBlock Portable
Doesn't fire up for me, dependencies? Anyone else have problems?
Bug Report
Please post a bug in the Other Apps support forum including your operating system (and service pack), install path, etc.

Blocklist?
Does this go out and retrieve it's own blocklist, or do I need a separate app for that?
Retreives
It has the ability to retrieve and keep updated an ads blocklist, a P2P monitoring blocklist, a spyware blocklist, and an educational blocklist. You can also import and create your own blacklists/whitelists.

Excellent
Great that you made it portable. I've been using it for years, it's really helpful, especially in France with the Hadopi
