How to install the PeerGuardian plugin

This guide explains in simple form how to enable the PeerGuardian plugin so it is no longer greyed out within ApexDC++. You can use this guide with clients based on ours, such as IceDC++. Note that this PeerGuardian plugin is compatible with 0.2.0-0.4.0. In 1.0.x, it is built into the program.

Follow the steps below and you'll have it enabled in no time:

• Download the plugin files (requires archive program such as WinRAR)
  
• Extract the plugin to Program Files/ApexDC++/ (root directory)
  
• Restart ApexDC++
  
• Go to Settings -> Advanced -> Security and enable the plugin

The program will now be blocking any IP addresses in the block list.

is there a way to add/remove more IPs to the block list ?

EDIT: found the way

[balder]

hi 3dfx, could you please post your method incase others see this thread

[3dfx]

very simple:

after extracting the peerguardian plug-in, just open up the "guarding.p2p" file with Notepad (wait a whyle,its a big text file)and add/remove anything there

Exactly the same way as the steps say above.

Are all Apex vers. backwards compatible? If not, label "Works for X and above"?
I mean avoiding a report "PG does not work" for the 0.1.0 release.

Updated it with that, thanks.

Oops, did we had a public release before 0.2.0? Still, it's s not wrong as it is now, specified.

The PeerGuardian plugin was implemented in 0.2.0.

I have a question: when in my system PeerGuardian is installed - does plugin in Apex work?



After I've extracted the plugin to Program Files/ApexDC++/ and restart - options isn't enabled.

No, if you have PeerGuardian running on your system already then you don't need it running within Apex as well. Would just be a waste of your resources? ...Hence the "Status: You don't need this plugin." caption at the lower end of that image.

you should mention that the guarding.p2p should go into the settings directory

Uhm.. is it only me or is the link not working? I only get a white page or a download of 0Byte...

[Satan]

Yeh, it is down atm, not sure whether it's a hosting thing or if Lee needs to fix it....

[CrazyBerserk]

Thanks. I already thought I just found another reason to reinstall my system...  

Does someone know a reliable and authentic alternative download location? Via Google I couldn't really find anything I'd trust..

This guide is very much obsolete nowadays, so I don't mind the link being broken really...
