Thanks

Remove from filter all adresses begining with [EX] - they are supposed to be on "white list".

[Meuh6879]

Not for me ... on a P2P network.
explain why i have found "avast autoupdate server" on a P2P network that it ask UDP source ?

[TP2001]

OK, block "avast autoupdate" things, but remove from filter legitimate servers such like: TV Underground, eMule Security.

[XHornyHectorX]

Why is eDonkeyServer No2 filtered???

[Meuh6879]

guys, this ipfilter have a history.

read the subject from the begin, the "server" policy is not new (I have my own idea about what is a P2P privat network for non-business use ) ... you can use an other ipfilter like elchele freeware or the "donator" BISS ipfilter (not free) or emulefan ipfilter or spanish modified ipfilter (ver. "b" , you can find this easy in this forum) .

hi everyone

Just adding something...
..or, 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255

[megawaves]

shared on my mule, thx meuh!!

cheers

Well including the [EX] ranges not just kills the known good servers but also protects you from such "threats" as the NIST timeservers and chaos computer club

Edith just told me, I can sort the filters by Description in the mule itself, and simply delete that whole whitelist [EX] block to make this list functional again. Thats definitely faster than using a text editor, so the list is still quite usable.

antonymous: Just wondering why you would have any need to have file sharing traffic to a NIST timeserver? Does the Chaos Computer Club run any P2P traffic from the banned IP ranges?

Does your filter list screen show any hits on those sites that have been blocked recently?

Maybe the eMule filter list is not just protecting you from others, but protecting others from something that may rage unhindered on your machine?

Yes, the list compilers have the bigger picture to look at as well, the survival of the Internet as we know it.

You trust the list compilers to do an accurate and professional job (after all you are paying them, aren't you????) Of course, if you have a better scheme or a method of fine tuning what gets banned, feel free to share it.

NIST timeservers are just examples of the completely harmless stuff that gets filtered out. They might as well add a few thousand timeservers from ntp.org and I bet many ppl would think they're even better protected now... The CCC may well be running their own legit P2P stuff and it's one of the last places in the world where I'd suspect malicious intent.


And no, I don't think the list compilers are somehow infallible or whatever you seem to imply. If anything, bluetack is a profit-minded business outfit who will benefit from FUD and paranoia. That and this whole superior attitude is already suspicious enough, if they (like you) can't take simple questions without getting all defensive it's a bit smelly.

And yeah, I shared the way to improve this list in my post above, didn't you read?

And no, that list is not meant to protect someone from me... lol funny idea, you sure you understood what ipfilters are for?

[megawaves]

bah! -.-"
... just good work from meuh... if u dont like it, there is a way to compile your own ipfilter... look at chele's post


cheers

I'm an Emule novice, and I'm concerned about getting the filtering to work. I read your tutorial from 2004 and it was very helpful. I tried the "block the whole world" blocklist by editing it up in notepad, and that definitely froze everything. I can download a blocklist from http://en.emulehelp....ipfilter.dat.gz, and I think it's loading fine. It includes ranges of ip addresses with 000 level (to be blocked), that still show up as clients downloading from me. Some of these clients I don't care to take a chance with, so what can I do to shut them out? How should I "debug" the ip filtering??? Thanks for any help.

Did you enable it in your torrenting client and put it in %appdata%?

can anyone tell me why relakks and IPredator (and many more vpn services) are inside of the ip-filter??
in my opinion a big failure

Because this ipfilter is built upon bluetack's block lists, see first post.

And bluetack's reasons goes something like:

Quote

Precisely because Virtual Private Networks help hide identity, the bad guys are using them to hide their activities, too. If we could pin them down to specific, static IPs, there would be no reason to block entire ranges as we have. The threats keep moving around, so the only way to offer meaningful security is to block everything in an IP range known to be used for anti-p2p activities.

That is the rationale and where it stands at the moment.

Quote

... but all VPN services can be used and abused. We don't discriminate against any particular service. People can choose to use a list which blocks VPN services if they want to, or not. We just give them that option.

VPN Users are always more, specially in germany, and I don't know if is still convenient filter them... for example I know that 1 friend use a VPN service and I cannot download datas from him cuz ipfilter filter his servers

[hooligan3000]

so i must edit an ipfilter for eMule users....
blueattack filters so much...horrible !!

i use ipfilter all over the years but now i see the bad guys are not inside of the list...
so we will see ^^

[Neoo26]

The problem is not that the bad guy are inside the list, ofc it will happen, none ipfilter is perfect, the problem that is for block 1 bad guy I block an entire VPN service and all good users of it...

AP2P can track you also with an IP of a normal private connection that cannot be filtered cuz you don't know who they're (I'm not sure about that but is what I think)
