I would like to hear what you have to say about peerguardian. I’ve seen many people talk about it but it seems that no one has reached a conclusion whether it does actually work. What do you think? Does peerguardian protect you from being detected when using a p2p client?
Peer Guardian is a simple software firewall designed for use with Microsoft Windows P2P file sharing clients. Peer Guardian works, first, by maintaining a database of IP addresses, logging and/or blocking incoming requests coming from those addresses. Secondly, Peer Guardian may prevent outcoming connections to fake P2P servers. - According to comp networking.
used to think so but I think utorrent/azureus does that now without pg2 since it scrambles the data you send out so your isp can't detect if you're just surfing or using p2p...but i'm not too sure, you have to ask some experts around here.
