Protect Your P2P Privacy

Posted by Hemos on from the stealing-anonymously dept.

BillGatesInABikini writes "APC Magazine has a short piece on protecting your privacy online while using P2P software with the likes of Peerguardian (Windows) and MoBlock (Linux). It's concise and to the point, and a real eye opener if you don't currently protect yourself while using P2P for transferring files, legitimate or otherwise."

  1. Re:Azureus plugin by urbanriot · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think you mean "safepeer" plugin for Azurues. I don't know how you could compare the two - Moblock runs on Linux using iptables, interfacing with the kernel whereas safepeer runs within Azureus. Personally I've had issues with the safepeer plugin in the past utilizing considerable resources and not responding after importing massive IP ranges but that may have changed in the last year or so.
