A message from project maintainers: After working on Firewall Builder for many years it is with some sadness that Vadim and I are announcing that we have suspended all development activity for this project.

Without you we wouldn’t have been able to keep things going this long. You might be wondering why we are doing this... We had an exciting opportunity come up to start a company developing advanced security automation solutions. This was a chance of a lifetime that we just couldn’t pass up and unfortunately it means that we no longer have time available to work on improv

PeerGuardian is a privacy oriented firewall application. It blocks connections to and from hosts specified in huge blocklists (thousands or millions of IP ranges). Its origin seeds in targeting aggressive IPs while you use P2P. PeerGuardian Linux: Not developed actively anymore. Team might still be around. Some unreleased changes on git. Outdated technology. Peerguardian OS X: Not developed anymore. We've lost contact with the OS X developer. PeerGuardian Windows: Not developed anymore. It's highly recommended to use PeerBlock instead, which is a continuation of PeerGuardian's development in Windows, with bug fixes and support for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Collaboration with peerblock.com is welcome! PeerGuardian is an open project. Not only is its source code open for you to read, use, and modify - but the project is open for you to join and contribute in any form (code, documentation, bug reports, web and support).
