Revision as of 13:12, 16 September 2005
1)The Peerguardian antip2p filter (http://www.methlabs.org/sync/) is much bigger than the given ipfilter.dat (almost 7000 lines bigger).
Which one is the most uptodate? (I can actually guess that!)
Up to date? hard to know. probably both are more or less the same. But loafing a large ipfilter requieres quite some CPU/MEM usage and might not be really a good idea in some environments, depending on what it is actually filtering.
2)Two filtering levels are defined, one in the ipfilter.dat file and another in preferences->security->ip-filter-filtering level.
Which one applies?
No idea, sorry. Ask Phoenix at forums or at aMule's IRC channel.I guess the one at preferences is the one used unless the file already assiges one (AFAIK, there's no way to have a file to hard-set a security number, but if you say it does...).
Why are there so many filtering levels (0,1,...127,128,...)???
There are so many so that you can decide what to filter and what to not filter without having to re-edit the whole file. Just changing the security value in Preferences.
Greetings!
Well, aMule supports the PeerGuardian lists (only version 1).
So I added their source (blocklist.org) to IP Filter sources. But I'm not sure what IP Filter sources is intended to list:
only web-addresses from which you can automatically update the ipfilter.dat (you can't do this with blocklist.org) or also web-addresses that have lists that you can manually insert (you can do this with blocklist.org).
See also this thread
Also see that the log message in 2.0.3 is slightly inaccurate, but the actual behavior is what you would want/expect. It is always ranges that are filtered, not individual IP addresses.
Greetings and Thanks jere (I can't login for the wikis, but in the forum I can)
