Not a bug.

You don't have to reinstall everytime you get blocked.

Did you read the links I gave?

You may need to allow multiple IPs because the Xfire and Second Life servers 
may have
multiple IPs.

For the two services you mentioned Xfire and Second Life, there are even two 
pre-made
lists of IP addresses used by those servers - head on over to
http://iblocklist.com/lists.php and check out their "Xfire" and "Linden Lab" 
lists,
and add them to your List Manager as lists of type "Allow" as per
http://www.peerblock.com/userguide/how_to_use/htu-usinglists.  That should let 
you
connect to their servers without issue.

Worst-case scenario you shouldn't need to uninstall/reinstall PeerBlock - even 
if you
can't identify the relevant IP addresses you should be able to just Exit or 
Disable
PeerBlock, and it will stop blocking IP addresses until you start / enable it 
again.

The links to our online User Guide that nightstalkerz provided should explain 
how to
allow individual IPs that are causing problems.  If you run into further 
problems
with games/services for which pre-made lists do not exist, you'll need to 
right-click
on the blocked IP addresses in the PeerBlock main window, and 
Temporarily/Permanently
Allow them.  You can also create your own custom allow-lists; the iblocklist.com
Search page can help you easily find IP address ranges that belong to certain
companies to make this easier.  (We can - and should - make this easier to do 
within
the PeerBlock interface itself, and hopefully will in a future release, but 
we're not
there yet.)

Marking this bug as "Invalid" to close it, since PeerBlock is working as it 
should.
