The Blocklist Manager is an application that downloads blacklists from various sources, processes for duplicates and merges based on rules, converts to a new format, and exports them to applications such as:
- Protowall
- PeerGuardian
- Outpost Blockpost
- Sygate
- ZoneAlarm
- Safepeer
- Abyss
- Morpheus/Gnucleus
- Kazaa Lite K++
- eMule
- And many other popular P2P applications & firewalls
It is a Swiss army knife of network security tools:
- IP Range Calculator
- The WHOIS Project
- Angry IP Scanner
- IP Config Status
- SmartWhois Integration
- Hosts file Manager Integration
- Port Monitor
- AnalogX Simple Server and NetView
- Local Hostname and IP address
- Netmask List
- Personal Inclusion and Exclusion of ranges
- Scheduled download of sources
- Source selection for more control over what is blocked
- and more to come…
The Blocklist Manager can simplify and automate many tasks for you. The Blocklist Manager can be set up to download, merge and export a list for you. It also includes a built in converter that allows you to convert to and from various formats. Some of these formats are listed below:
- CIDR Import and Export
- Protowall
- PeerGuardian
- Outpost Version 1 and 2
- IP Chains
- Bearshare
- ZoneAlarm
- Sygate
- Generic IP
- Snort
- And many more
The Blocklist Manager has the ability to import from custom sources also. Along with this, it has a built in Inclusions/Exclusions manager. With these, you can define custom IP’s and ranges to be included or excluded from the list. This can be useful if there is a web site that is blocked and you want it unblocked you can just add the IP address of the website to the Exclusions manager.
It also includes the Whois Project that allows a user to lookup IP addresses. The Whois Project was made by The Faimous One and Seraphielx to stop the confusion of having to know which IP addresses are listed on which whois servers. It will select the proper server and look up the IP for you. This project is still being expanded to make use of RWhois servers. Stay tuned for more on that.
I think its pretty easy to use, if you think that you need a better list than the default peerguardian list, this is the way to go.
You can download it from here
The way I use it was this, after you install it and start it up, you will be presentend with something like this

Then you will need to go to Tools, Options and then enabled the sources that you will like to retrieve to be in your list

Then just go the the main window and click in the process button, you will have to wait for it to fetch all the lists, but after that it should look like this

Then just export the list and Add it to Peerguardian, after you add the list to peer guardian it should look like this.

Do this regularly and you would not have to worry about your privacy anymore.














well done, man
nice, even a noob can understand this
Please help me
How do I export the list and add it to PeerGuardian?
Thanks for your help
Just export the list huh? That easy huh? No it’s not that fuckin easy. I wish some of you guys would break it down step by step. I’ve spent days trying to get this Blocklist to work with other programs like my firewall. Please explain how to export to PeerGuardian.
Nice tutorial.
I process the lists but nothing pops up so that I can export it. I see it run the process, but the ip range fields are still blank. I don’t see what I could possibly be doing wrong…
After you enable your ’sources’ under “Options”, update the ’sources’ then process the data array(ctrl+P) as list view. After it finishes you need to click on the “Convert” button in between “Export List” and “Whois” on the main navigation bar.
Once you click convert you can then choose whatever format you want…look for the one labeled ProtoWall…its for PeerGuardian. Click convert and after it finishes click on the “Save As” button. Save it on your desktop as a .txt file. After it is saved (which can take a few minutes)…Open PeerGuardian, then click on “List Manager”. On the next screen click “Add” and browse to the saved file. Open it. Close the screen and it will automatically reload. Win!!!!!!!
This program is amazing. Added nearly three times as many IPs that PeerGuardian had. Thanks for getting the word out on this.
I did as what is given here.But after i click process it does all the things but no ips are shown in red colour as shown in screenshot 3 given above.And when i click convert it creates a txt file of 0byte.Its empty
HeY
Yeah ive got the same problem as aswin.
No range and ip overview
Ive been trying to look at the setup in general but cant get a clue, The walkthrough was good in userfriendliness but it didnt work out.
Hope somebody can tell me whats wrong
Like to have a little more shadow were i walk
its not processing nothing come on little help as above said break down steps as what to do if it dosent process i get nothing imported and my screen dosent look like urs
i use azureus or vuzehd
SAME here like Ashwin, it the export file is 0Byte and its empty and it doesnt show up the range list when the source actually runs, can somebody help ?
Thanks to Pixel16 and to Master Mason for making things a little clearer.
I finished these steps and pointed PG2 at the list txt file all fine.
So now I have just one massive list on there – is this right?
Also to update it, do I have to go through all these steps again, or will PG2 do it automatically like it does with other lists?
cheers
same problem as the person above…
