Could you elaborate a little on this proposal? Just so we all have a clear understand of the feature you're proposing. From what I assume, you're talking about IP filtering in terms of connected peers. Something analogous to a torrent blacklist?
like you can filter in a torrent client like qBittorrent for example... you can add a file which blacklist IPs
User muting and site muting have been implemented. @HelloZeroNet I think that this is similar to what topic starter proposed. Can the issue be closed?
@grez911 It's actually quit different
With user muting you prevent files from specific users to be written into the db With IP filtering/blacklisting you prevent specific IPs to connect to your client
@mkg20001 What the point of this?
@grez911 Muting users wont work because a person can just create a new user id. IP filtering will block their whole network regardless of the user id - unless they get a new IP. That's how I understand it.
A good use of this would be to block known corporate/government/bad-actor addresses for non-tor users.
@krixano With half of users using Tor, blocking IPs will be is not very effective, I think.
@mkg20001 What the point of this?
@grez911 The one @skwerlman mentioned
It would be cool to support this feature
