Description
- This plugin allows you to use SafePeer to import a list of IPs to block to the IpFilter from some database (by default the one of PeerGuardian).
- To install, use: Azureus > Plugins > Installation Wizard
The SafePeer plugin prevents Azureus from exchanging data with lots of (not all!) bad IPs, for example companies that are paid to sniff around or slow down downloads.
Important note: Azureus does need 2 to 20 minutes more to startup, because the plugin needs to download a big list of IPs. We think it's worth the wait. You could speed this up by enabling asynchronous loading in Azureus > Plugins > SafePeer but this is not recommended since this will give you less protection.
