As a software engineer who has worked in the commercial sector for more than 13 years, Mark – who admits to being “an arrogant bastard who truly believes he can do just about anything better than just about anybody,” decided he could find a solution. Having hacked away and jumped through hoops to get around driver-signing it would still only work half the time and often crashed without warning. Everything worked fine – until he tried to get PeerGuardian (another IP blocker) to work. Mark told us that the creation of PeerBlock was inspired by him upgrading his PC from 32 to 64 bit in order to utilize 6gb of RAM. To mark this milestone, TorrentFreak caught up with Mark from the project for the lowdown. Just over a month has passed since the first stable public release of the software and PeerBlock has now managed to clock up more than 100,000 downloads. By utilizing lists of ‘known bad’ computers, it’s possible for it to block P2P companies from monitoring a user’s file-sharing activities, along with spyware and other malicious software. Peerblock is a piece of software which lets you control who your computer communicates with on the Internet.
