Peerblock will block your IP #384

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
If your IP address is listed in one of your lists files somehow, peerblock will 
block communication from and to your IP address.

I subscribed to an iblocklist list which blocked Netco Solutions, providers of 
Hide My Ass VPN. The VPN software creates a tunnel that looks like a standard 
network adapter, which gives you a public IP address. Since my IP was blocked, 
PeerBlock started blocking all non-http traffic to and from my IP.

So: Peerblock should specifically not engage a block if the only match is an IP 
address the machine is using.
