Support #413

Updated by Daniel Curtis over 10 years ago

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: 
 <pre> 
 sudo pacman -U gksu 
 </pre> 
 *# *NOTE*: You may need to configure @gksu@ with @gksu-properties@. 

 * Install PeerGuardian: 
 <pre> 
 wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pg/pgl/pgl.tar.gz 
 tar xzf pgl.tar.gz 
 cd pgl 
 makepkg -s PKGBUILD 
 </pre> 
 *# Install the package: 
 <pre> 
 sudo pacman -U pgl*.xz 
 </pre> 

 * Open pglgui and configure IP blacklists 

 * When PeerGuardian lists are updated and ready to run, open a terminal and run: 
 <pre> 
 sudo systemctl start pgl.service 
 </pre>
