Enhancement of the open port feature. #503

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

I use peerblock for both list blocking and port opening. I have a idea that may 
be of great use to people especially server side uses.
1. as of 1.2 you can add a port and nothing gets blocked which is great!
2. take this one step further and during the add or edit option allow blocking 
lists of choice to be enabled. This will allow the port to function as it 
should while still blocking attackers and crawlers. So as a example I can use 
port 53 as a open port but block the bad guys at the same time with either a 
single list or better yet a multi-list selection via check box. I would add 
though that the lists that are going to be used to block any opened port also 
be required active lists so that you're not duplicating and the main code take 
care of updating and adding/removing of lists. So in a sense I would like to 
see all the installed lists as just their names with a checkbox that would 
enable that list to still block on that opened port and have the option only in 
the edit and creation screens. This will allow choice if I need to still 
safeguard my ports from baddies and crawlers and/or any person looking to see 
if they can see any P2P files and my GUID which are required for a lawsuit so 
the lists will still safeguard and protect both the PC/Server and the person 
behind it. 

Please contact me back as i don't come here often enough to see what people say.
