PeerGuardian is a tiny firewall program especially designed for P2P software users, but also to anyone who is concerned about the investigations that corporations and authorities perform on the internet. PeerGurdian blocks connections for the configured IP ranges and logs the blocked connections. It uses an online IP database for the blocking, but IP ranges can also be configured manually.
What's new
* Ability to completely disable logging.
* Update servers are now auto-allowed while updating.
* Driver has been updated for higher performance and stability.
* Windows Vista support:
- Full support for IPv4 and IPv6.
- Detects IPv4 users masquerading under Teredo and 6to4 IPv6 addresses.
- Connections do not need to time-out like they do in XP, which means faster browsing with ad blocking lists.
- UDP "connections" are detected, meaning only the first packet of a UDP protocol will be logged. This allows for much less CPU and disk usage in new P2P projects like Rodi and Freenet.
- Compatible with ALL firewalls.
* "pgfix" recovery application no longer needed.
