![]() All staff are available in, channel #methlabs if you wish to chat." Until then we ask you to continue using Beta 6a but with caution as the update servers are no longer under our control. A new build of PeerGuardian will be released soon to reflect these changes. All other sites, including and, are under control of the rogue member and should not be trusted for safe updates to our applications or lists. Please visit for news as we make progress. The intention of the group is to register a non-profit organization to handle the development of Methlabs applications and to promote open source projects that aid both security, privacy and peer-to-peer technologies, in order to prevent a repeat of this incident." "The team wish all their users the best through this difficult time, but promise that development will continue. The member of the group that had been trusted to handle the finances and servers slowly managed to take over each individual part of the web site's assets, eventually claiming control over the entire group and locking out the majority of staff." "Development of PeerGuardian will resume, and the website will temporarily move to until a new domain is registered and a new server found. So to selectively quote, "The majority of the administration and development team have been forced out of their website following a series of threats and incidents. But if so, I ask staff to delete and forgive. I trust posting excerpts does not violate any TOS here. I don't know what else to do.Just in case you have not heard, I received the following e-mail. ![]() My other lists update fine, but when I try the method where I disable the educational list and try again it dosen't work. Not only that, but no blocked ip's pop up. Anyways, now that I've installed pg2 beta 6b on my new system there is no more p2p list, and it won't update it at all. And for some reason I think they were Anti-p2p organizations, like Time-Warner or something. I also noticed that everytime I went to update my p2p list, some blocked ip's were popping up. Now I know what your thinking, you've heard it all before, but here's the thing:īefore I was forced to re-install windows, I was using pg2 for a while, so I had a list built up of Anti-p2p ip's. I have just installed pg2 beta 6b on a freshly installed XP OS. I've tried to follow the methods instructed by EdtheDuck in his post, however, it seems that it won't work for me. Interesting that there is some sort of precedence for this matter, as it seems I'm having a similar problem. Personally, I use the first method and I can update ok. it recognises the uni using coral cache and temporarily allows that IP so that you can update). This update effectively does the same as above (i.e. Finally, try updating again and you should be all good. Then TEMPORARILY allow that IP address (i.e. try to update your p2p lists and observe the uni being blocked by peerguardian. So, in order to update your p2p list you can do either of these things: Consequently, what you should see when you try to update peerguardian's p2p list is blocks, blocking universities. What this means is that the p2p list is hosted using university networks. The result is that bluetack now (temporarily hopefully) host all of the lists EXCEPT the p2p list which is now hosted using a system called coral cache (see here for more info.) The most used blocklist is the p2p one, and due to people downloading the lists many times a day, bluetack lost their main server (see here for more info). ![]() ![]() Peerguardian use the blocklists hosted at .uk. This is how I believe the problem breaks down.
