Filter Out RIAA/MPAA with PeerGuardian on IPCop

Posted on June 5th, 2008 in Networking, Security by admin

Have a network that you’d like to protect from macilious organizations? Well we’re in luck, now at the router level we can add peer guardian to ipcop based routers.

The install is rather simple, first thing first of course you must have Ipcop installed. Then grab ipcop-pglinux-1.5beta.zip from here.

To install for ipcop copy over peerguardnf to your ipcop box from a cd, scp, thumbdrive, your choice.
Copy over the blocklist to your ipcop box as well.

Login to your ipcop box and move peerguardnf to the /usr/bin directory.

Download a blocklist (or several and combine them into one) from here: http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=dscriptca&CODE=viewcat&cat_id=4

Now go to the directory with the blocklist in it and type:

peerguardnf -d -m -l /var/log/PG.log -h <blocklistfile>

where <blocklistfile> is the name of your blocklist.

Reboot the ipcop router and login. Tada. Just a reminder though, do not get an invincibility complex just because you have peer guardian. Obtaining new ip addresses is not difficult, especially for companies with so much money. You still might want to consider paying for a VPN such as Relakks.
