PeerBlock Protects Your Privacy With Less Annoyance

By Adam Pash on September 29, 2009 at 6:30 AM

Windows only: Previously mentioned PeerBlock—a fork of the inactive but still popular Peer Guardian 2—has just released an update complete with various bug fixes and a signed driver that should eliminate some Windows 7 and Vista UAC annoyances. Other than that, it’s just an all-around more stable release than when we last posted about it.

Keep in mind that—as we said when we first showed you how to protect your privacy when downloading—applications like Peer Guardian 2 or PeerBlock aren’t foolproof, but they can certainly increase your privacy, no matter what you’re downloading or what kind of browsing you’re doing.

If you’ve been using the free, open-source PeerBlock since we first covered it, let’s hear how you’ve been liking it in the comments.

    Thanks.
    It’s less clunky and I was getting sick of the F8 restart issue on my 64-bit Vista.
