First-run Update Message - When you first run PeerBlock after upgrading, you will see a notice explaining why lists are only updating once per week.Better Weekly List-Updating - We've made some improvements that should help ensure that free users continue to get their free weekly list-updates.If something occurs during update-checking, the error message displayed should be much more meaningful. We've worked with I-Blocklist, who hosts the vast majority of the lists people use, to create improved error messaging for the various problems that may occur when updating lists. To make it easier for you to configure PeerBlock to use an I-Blocklist Subscription, new I-Blocklist Username/PIN fields have been added to the bottom of the "Settings 1" tab. Instead of having one Settings tab with those silly "Next" and "Prev" buttons on it, we've broken that out into two separate "Settings 1" and "Settings 2" tabs. Many thanks to night stalkerz for his hard work on this feature. This can for example be used if you're running PeerBlock on a public FTP server, or if you want to ensure that outgoing SMTP mail communications are never blocked.

This means that PeerBlock will not filter any connections from/to those ports. The new "Port Settings" tab allows you to unblock ports (incoming and/or outgoing).

By selecting appropriate lists of "known bad" computers, you can block communication with advertising or spyware oriented servers, computers monitoring your p2p activities, computers which have been "hacked", even entire countries! They can't get in to your computer, and your computer won't try to send them anything either.
