Hello,

I've been using Peerguardian 2 for quite some time, but iv always wondered is there a real difference between photowall and PG2, they seem to serve the same purpose.

Is it just a matter of taste or what?


Thanks in advance.

Protowall Lol sorry :s very tired.

Yeah they both block IP's, the basic difference is in the coding,

As far as I know Protowalls driver blocks packets on the network layer, PG2 blocks on the application layer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

If you need a more technical answer look for Necromancer

Correct. We don't let the packets enter your operating system at all, we reject them in the network stack. Technically this means it would be harder for a rootkit or similar to get around Protowall.
