In order to obtain updates from I-Blocklist.com now, delete all existing lists (except permallow) before running the PeerBlock 'update' function.
My computer, running Windows 7, stores these lists in the directory -
C:\Program Files\PeerBlock\lists
There is no way to identify the download url's on the I-Blocklist site, but the ones I was using before this problem arose are still working for me at the moment -
[list.iblocklist.com]
[list.iblocklist.com]

This is not a "problem". They just want to be paid for the lists. That's all. No more free lists from iblocklist. They could provide one basic free antiP2P list and rest for the subscribers, instead of charging for everything. So they're probably done, because hardly anyone will pay for some lists, if there is a better way of spending money - VPN. It reminds me of imageshack etc. subscription-based services, which no one uses anymore, because of free competition. So now, one of two things will happen:
1) we just have to wait for the competition which will provide a better plan, including free lists,
2) peerblock will die.

ya it looks like peerblock is gonna die. I'm so sad. I wonder what brought this about? Are they hurting for money for servers? food? Is it the recording industry putting pressure on someone?
And on another note. I just installed a new install of peerguardian on a fresh ubuntu 16.04. Everything installs and updates, but for some reason its not blocking anything and i can't figure it out. iptables rules look normal and pgl chains is where they supposed to be. but its just not doing anything. Is all of this happening to me at the same time a conspiracy? lmao... Peerguardian is still updating and blocking stuff for me on another linux distro it was already previously installed on though so its curious for me.
I feel naked just browsing the web now...

Judging by your post in another thread you have a good grasp of the trade-offs involved.
For readers of this message who may be unaware of the issues
a "good" VPN gives "perfect" anonymity
PB, by contrast, blocks only "known" IPs [and then only when constant updating is done on the list(s) being used]

so apparenlty i was wrong. I registered an account and then it showed me download links for the non subscriber lists like in the past with a pin appended to the url. But the lists didn't work, and after logging out and back to iblocklist.com its not showing me any download links again and shows subscription requried next to them. So I'll be using my paypal account tommorrow lol.

who is they? iblocklist? well then they accomplished their goal. even though alot of the blocklists were much much more encompassing in the past and for w/e reasons are not as much now, I still feel the 9.99 for a year is well deserved. You can get alot of their lists on other websites although i'm not gonna post where. But I gave iblocklist the money anyways...
I'd only get a vpn if I already had trouble with law enforcement, a criminal organization, my isp, or in an oppressive country, but I'm not and never have so a vpn is not worth the money to me. I'll stick to what's worked for me for 20 years because contrary to popular belief the way the internet works has not changed.

It is NOT financially worthwhile subscribing to i-blocklist, IMHO, because their main lists are sourced from Bluetack, who are no longer updating their lists.
You can use the 'add' button in Peerblock to add lists from url's other than the i-blocklist url.
I suggest that a better option is the free list from John Tyree, updated daily I understand. It's called John Tyree's biglist:
[john.bitsurge.net]

the list you posted blocks about everything, I couldn't even check Protonmail. Not worth it.

The program offers various options. Amongst them, there is the option to add individual ip addresses to either an 'always allow' list, or to an 'always block' list.
You can also disable the program entirely by clicking a button, to pause blocking entirely until you click the button again.
You can click a different button to disable only http traffic, then just click it again to restart blocking.
If the e-mail server has a fixed ip address, arranging to permanently allow that address is straightforward. But really, using the program at all is intended for when you are running a p2p connection, not for ordinary browsing. It blocks p2p connections. It is really not intended for other forms of internet use.

Anyone know what is the reset period? My list haven't updated for quite a while now.
I rebooted my router to get a new IP address and the lists didn't update.

It should be 1 week. Also, resetting your router doesn't guarantee a new IP - unless you checked that it's new. I also don't know if PB have the feature built-in as well to prevent abuse.

I always get a new IP when I reboot router (I check my IP address online).
PeerBlock must have a method to prevent abuse then.
But I have "5 failed updating" messageon PeerBlock's interface for quite some time now.

Maybe make sure that the URLs of the lists are still valid and haven't changed?

I'm only using the default list (for P2P, Spyware, Advertising, and Education).
The URL is: [list.iblocklist.com]
Is that still correct? Thanks.

That seems like a valid list. Do you not maybe have a firewall which is blocking PB from connecting to the internet?
