Burnse:

First I would like to say I am very impressed with the amount of list you have to pick from on here. I paid $11 to be a subscriber yesterday, June 11th 2010. Since then I have loaded 21 lists total. Blocking 3,102,067,534 IP's! I wish I had took the time to read about this years ago. The blocked list on my peerblocker Scrolls through the IP's blocked so fast I can't even read it at times.

My question is, do the author's of the various list have a way to know what IP's are being blocked and how many times, by each user. Or is this just a system where they only know how many people ask for updates?

I would just like to know this for my personal curiosity.

fakhir (I-Blocklist - General Manager):

IP blockers do not report what IPs they allow or block back to us.
I-Blocklist knows when someone updates a list from I-Blocklist but that is not shared with list authors.

Burnse:

I am now blocking with a total of 20 lists, totaling 3,176,691,947! Allowing a total of 12 lists (allow/block lists' = 32 total) and I am having no problems!

I just allow http when I am browsing with my browser.

But of-course I have a 12 Mbps connection, not everyone can probably use as many lists. Plus I stopped using all that GUI crap (yahoo,aol,icq) a long time ago. My only problems have been with games; thus the allow lists, which I was pleased to see, you already had lists for this problem.
