With a Windows install of Synchronet you may want to try Peerblock small
little foot print program that has a option to make a list bad ip's in
any and all countries. I did a search and found one place that you can
make a list from of bot type peeps and it has worked very well.
I already have PeerBlock set up and running. However, for some of the ham radio traffic nets that I do, I had to disable it, as I couldn't connect to certain "reflectors" with the D-Star mode.
At least for the nets that I run, I can leave Peerblock enabled. The fee to renew the data files each year is only around $10...you can't get a good meal for that anymore!!

The nice think about peerblock is you can make a ban list of country IP's
and make a white list of a country ip that you want to pass through.
I always like it when I was running VA on xp or Windows 7.

it is still only 32bit, right? no 64?

That is right but then you can run 32bit on a 64 bit OS.
Just not my good old day of running 16 bit on a 64 bit OS
no, you could NOT run peerblock 32 on 64bit. BUT, they have changed that. there's a 64bit version of peerblock

If that is so then it is a 16 bit program.
Guess I'll have to try it out my self in a VM for self knowing.
You're replying in the wrong area, and with a none existent node number!Got ya...
no. there was a version of peerblock that would only run on 32bit.
it was just coded not to run on 64bit systems, you would get an error msg. now they have upgraded it.

Soounds good to me, glad someone picked up the ball, with me I never needed
the 64 bit being I was always running 16 bit doors for a bbs.
Still a good deal!
honestly i dont think i have a need for this on a 64bit system; i've always used to to protect my bbses that ran on a 32bit os.
Agreed om my Dell workstation and my laptops and when using my Dell poweredge
servers I have always used symantec endpoint protection. I used that and
peerblock on the bbs putters. But after buying a checkpoint firewall
This. I'm a huge fan of pfSense... does "everything".
Never needs rebooting, never nags me about updates.
endpoint is no longer being developed, right?
