SCTP protocol support

CSRedRat — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 05:35:21 -0000

Protection and reliability above all else. Nowadays, information plays a significant role in my life. In connection with this very appropriate introduction would be implementing the protocol SCTP \(Stream Control Transmission Protocol - «transfer protocol with flow control"\), a new version. This will provide protection against SYN-flood attacks, the establishment of a safe connection \(using a four-handshake\), as well as pleasant innovation in the form of the conservation message boundaries, multi-threading, unordered delivery, support for multiple interfaces. Implementation of this protocol allows the network to bring a new level of speed, reliability, security and data transmission capabilities over the network. Because the new protocol was created, taking into account shortcomings of TCP, in view of the network and make full use of their opportunities, and special attention was paid to safety and security. It is high time to promote, SCTP everywhere\! Given the current active movement towards IPv6. + A lot of goodies from this extract is another good protocol SPDY. You can not hinder the development of technologies and the need to push modern protocols to the masses. It remains to convince Microsoft's usefulness and necessity of these protocols and to persuade them to intensive implementation. By the way Firefox is already implementing a protocol support SPDY \(expected in version 11\), as well as support going into the popular web-server nginx.

A feature to auto-clear history after X number of days. \(i.e. a limit on history size or number of days of history.\)

Program Whitelist

Hello, a whitelist for applications would be nice. Take for example the app Steam. Some IP addresses from valve are blocked in the current blacklists, the program can't communicate with the master servers of Steam an doesn't start. Bye

Trojan hunter's PG

Torben K. Jensen — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:45:56 -0000

PeerGuardian is a great tool if you suspect you have a trojan. It could be even more powerful, however, if it were possible to perform WHOIS or even DNS look-ups from the log and history context menus. It may not be PG's mission to provide full-blown port sniffer functionality, but it sure would be convenient to avoid piggybacking additional sniffers when PG is installed. Last, but not least, thank you for an already very useful tool, making the internet safer for us all.

Auto-recovery on startup

Anonymous — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:58:14 -0000

Hi :\) I suggest to add auto-recovery to PG which it uses if it encounters a problem like "driver already running". It pisses off every single time I have to re-log in to get all softwares to start and everytime I do that, PG complains "driver already running".

Block the Russian Business Network

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 03:24:51 -0000

Hello all, I love your software and suggest it to all my friends/family, etc. There has been several recent security attacks \(i.e. see MPACK, and the like\) that point to the Russian Business Network \(RBN\) as being the source of exploit code, phishing attacks, injections and other scams \(see http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/608\). I was wondering if you could create a list that would block the RBN and add it to your already terrific framework\! Thanks, Zach

We need full Vista support for our new PC with Vista. Thanks

New update to Beta 6B

Anonymous — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 08:48:25 -0000

I think it is time for a new Beta release or a solid Alpha. It has been almost 2 years without one. I think you should solidify any bugs in the interface and also post a solid default list. Next step would be to ensure solid weekly releases that are known to be stable before release. Thank You

Process Name and/or PID shown

Olle B — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 20:37:15 -0000

Sometimes I get an "unexpected" block which I would like to investigate further. Today I get the port that was blocked, but before I can managed to see who used the port that information is gone. It would be nice to have that info \(process name would be best\) in the blocking info. I downloaded the source code \(and I'm competent\) so perhaps with a "point to the right place" I might be able to contribute with a solution, at least for Windows.
