Other than that, which list is it complaining about? If "P2P", what happens if you enter "http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1" into your web browser? --- Mark --- Lead developer of PeerBlock Reply Quote Anonymous User Re: Error contacting url October 09, 2009 10:54AM when i put that url in the browser "internet explorer cannot display" so im guessing its a service issue. is there a way to "allow" that url? my internet is working fine otherwise Reply Quote Attachments: open | download - peerblock.log (121.6KB) open | download - peerblock.conf (5.3KB) Anonymous User Re: Error contacting url October 09, 2009 11:07AM it is complaining about all the lists. it hasnt successfully updated once so i dont think i am blocking anything right now. i even added two urls that were suggested on the peer guardian site. [iblocklist.com] [iblocklist.com] im not sure if these are actual lists or links to lists but i get the same error and internet explorer wont let me visit the site either.

It came up with a message saying Error contacting URL. Now, even more recently, none of the lists will update and come up with the same message.

September 16, 2008 in Security - Last Update:December 16, 2012 6PeerGuardian is an IP (Internet Protocol) blocker for Windows which is highly popular in the file sharing community but also with security and privacy interested users. http://www.ghacks.net/2008/09/16/peerguardian-error-contacting-url/ The software works by providing access to lists that contain IPs and IP ranges that are coming from organizations, companies, websites and individuals that invade the user's privacy, serve ads or malicious contents.The main application of PeerGuardian is blocking P2P traffic from sources that are known to invade the users privacy by logging the actions on P2P networks.A error contacting user trying to update the lists or download the lists initially after downloading PeerGuardian might encounter the message "Error Contacting URL" which means that there was a connection problem between the user's computer and the list. This is usually happening for the official lists hosted at Sourceforge.The easiest way to overcome that error message is to find another source error contacting url for that list and use that instead. PeerGuardian already provides access to the same list in the form of the level1 list on the Bluetack server. A selection of that should have the desired result.Another option is to get the lists at the i-Blocklist website which mirrors them and provides access to several new lists that are not listed in the default PeerGuardian client.Error Contacting URL can be a temporary error but if it is appearing continuously a user should think about switching to the alternative lists.Update: Peer Guardian has been discontinued. The alternative is Peer Block which offers similar capabilities. The program has not been updated in a while. The latest stable release of the program dates back to 2010. Back in 2011 an announcement was made that a new version is underway, but that has been over a year ago. The program appears to be working fine for the most part though.Update 2: Peer Block is not available anymore as well. Please share this article About Martin Brinkmann Martin Brinkmann is a j
