Hi, Maybe someone can answer this for me.

I am using BLM (block list manager) on my windows machine to create a custom block list. It works fine in windows, safepeer in Azureus and PeerGuardian both recognize the amount of IP's it generates. But when I transfer the list over to my Ubuntu machine and import the list, it only sees about 240K IP addresses. When compared to what I see in Peer Guardian in Windows (2,382,934,718) something seems amiss. When I look at the /home/simian/.config/deluge/blocklist.cache file, it shows a healthy 13Meg file.

Does anyone have an idea to why this is?

Thanks,

Dreadmonkey

your windows peerguardian program is on crack. you're blocking 2.38 billion ips? yeah, sure. that's blocking more than half of the internet, since ipv4 has a limit of 4,294,967,296 ips.

And there are only about as many as you have in use, maybe it is the total ports or something that in registers.

As I recall it is showing the number of ranges that are set in the list.

by the responses, can I assume that I am reasonably secure using one of the default lists?

Thanks for the replies, I have no idea with Peer Guardian is reporting what it is reporting from the BLM updates from bluetak
I have set it to include:
Ad Trackers
Bogon Ranges
DShield
Hijacked IP Blocks
Level1
Level 2
Master Exclusions
Spiders
Spyware
Trojans and Portscan
