Hello,

I've got a question. Using PG2.

I went to forum of one of private torrent trackers. When i've choose one subject, in log PG2 I got a block one ip from Level1 list.

I mean, one avatar picture wants to connect, simply download. And it is blocked by PG2 Level 1 blocklist.

Is it safe? I mean when somebody don't use blocklists, how danger that might be? What information might be send?

I've got block sending referrer on. But what more i can do?

PS. Using Safari 3.1

Let me take a wild guess . It was Performance Systems International . Anyway , you only need to keep L1 hosts at bay when dl/ul copyrighted material . It`s really not a matter of sensitive info being send , you`re in all likelihood prevented by PG from reaching a server hosting part of the web content associated with that tracker forum . No need to worry imo . That is not to say you can safely turn off http blocking when filesharing . Definitely not ph34r.gif
