Forget running when you can hide

There was an app that acted like a p2p firewall but only for well known RIAA and major media IPs. I saw it in the forums of suprnova.org but I couldn't find the d/l for it (a while back.) But it wouldn't allow them to connect to you and would tell you who it blocked access from. Any one else seen this?

What good is this list/app of known IPs when the RIAA and MPAA can also download it and use IPs that aren't on it? Every time the list/app is updated all they have to do is download the updates and switch to different IPs.

If you are thinking of PeerGaurdian for get it. It doesn't help. First of all it allows them to connect to you before it closes the connection. Second a lot of it's ranges are wrong. Third what is to stop them from using a home ip address from connecting to you and having an ip address completely unknown to the PG database?

Oh yeah. Look out for the PG trolls.

My thoughts exactly.. PeerGuardian is nothing but a placebo.. especially on BT because everyone's IP is out in the open.
