SSH-tunnelled Remote Desktop (RDP) sessions freeze

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run peerblock
2. Remote into computer using peerblock

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Remote desktop should run

Observed: Remote desktop will show a blank screen forever and be slow that
it freezes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.1.86
Vista Ultimate SP2

Please provide any additional information below.
I am using a remote desktop session through a SSH tunnel. Using a program
called SSHD.  I have used peerguardian forever and it worked fine.  When I
close Peerblock the try to remote in again it works.

I can't reproduce this problem, RDP'ing from one 32-bit XP Pro system to 
another one
which is running PeerBlock.  Are you sure PeerBlock isn't blocking any of the
ip-addresses you need?  That said, I'm not tunnelling over SSH, so maybe we're 
doing
something that's messing up the encryption...  

Can you ping that machine to which you can't RDP into, while PeerBlock 
is/is-not running?

Yes, i can ping the computer, does Peerblock use the same method of filrtering 
lists
as Peerguardian?

Also, it might be an issue with peerblock slowing down the bandwidth enough to 
freeze
remote desktop?

When i run Peerblock in compatibility mode for winxp sp2, the problem goes away 
all
together. Does peerblock need to run in admin mode?

Yes it does need to run in admin mode.

Yes, PeerBlock uses the same code to filter IP traffic as PG.  Don't think it's 
a
slowdown problem as I've had no issues RDPing into my office machines from my 
home,
though that is FROM a PeerBlock-enabled machine TO a non-enabled one - any 
effect it
has on bandwidth should be the same though.  And we've used RDP over a slow
modem-based connection at work without too many problems, so any potential added
lag/bandwidth bottlenecking shouldn't cause this problem.

I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the encrypted tunnel aspect 
of
it...  I know someone else reported via email some issues accessing newsgroups 
via an
encrypted connection.  Will look into setting up a repro case at home this 
weekend or
else next week.

Sorry, i meant to ask, if you disabled UAC, do you need to have Peerblock run in
Admin mode? (The option to run in admin mode is disabled if you disabled UAC)
