Description

Peerguardian is an excellent program to protect from known bad IP addresses. It can be installed on Arch Linux from the AUR, and requires a little workaround (currently) to get it to start with systemd.

Install PeerGuardian

  • Install prerequisites:
    sudo pacman -U gksu
    1. NOTE: You may need to configure gksu with gksu-properties.
  • Install PeerGuardian:
    wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pg/pgl/pgl.tar.gz
tar xzf pgl.tar.gz
cd pgl
makepkg -s PKGBUILD
    1. Install the package:
      sudo pacman -U pgl*.xz
  • Open pglgui and configure IP blacklists
  • When PeerGuardian lists are updated and ready to run, open a terminal and run:
    sudo systemctl start pgl.service
