![]() ![]() uk for related tools and public blocklists (Props to seraphielx for all this information, folks).īefore you start, be aware that using a firewall, Peerguardian, or Protowall might suit your blocking requirements a bit better than using eMule's built-in filter. The main reasons for not using such programs are concern over resources/ram, compatability with eMule or other programs, stability, being a minimalist, and handling larger blocklists. That said, Protowall is striving to allow much larger blocklists with less resources used, so you might want to check it out. I don't like the idea to make filtering too easy runtime). This function should require some knowledge & attention, otherwise people will filter IPs/Ranges easily and cry about less sources later. If it happens that you have problems later, try editing your ipfilter.dat and restarting eMule before complaining. What an IP is- First of all, if you don't know what an IP is, read this from. You can also convert your eMule ID to your IP, or just read it in the 'My Info' window on eMule's server tab. Basically, IPs are used to identify computers, and IP ranges are used to identify networks or subnets of computers. Now, logically, you might want to restrict some of these IPs from accessing your precious eMule. Client Version Notes- Filtering in eMule was supported in official clients 26b and later, and certain earlier mods. When I think of "the golden era of emule", I think of 26b. I couldn't imagine anyone still using it, but if you are, and you want to filter IPs, please get a newer version. Even if you do use a version later than 26b, you might want to get a newer version as they allow refreshing the ipfilter.dat without restarting eMule, changing the filter level, and filtering servers. Filtering Types- EMule uses a two-way ban for IPs on its filter list. That means there is no uploading OR downloading from banned IPs. Generally, you will probably want to filter uploaders of corrupt data, invalid sources, enemies of p2p programs, and other agencies involved in p2p surveillance. Some people also take an active role in filtering out leechers. ![]() Information on how to obtain these IPs can be found later in this guide. Also, eMule uses a default 'allow' for connections, meaning that everything is allowed communication unless it's on the blocklist. This is opposed to the generally safer method of rejecting everything by default except what is marked as "allowed", but eMule doesn't allow the use of this method at present. And, besides, you would probably lose a ton of sources this way.
