Mac IP blockers and internet security software

[rayjayjohnson]

Any recommendations?

I'm really getting into the idea of torrents, and think i better start giving more concern to unprotected internet sex, not for what i might get, but who i might be screwing (ie HBO, thanks for the sopranos)

i tried peer guardian, but it screwed with my internets, such as blocking smh.com.au for an unknown reason.

Can anyone suggest something that might be good? i'm using bittorrent as my client, seeing as how azureus screws with my browsing ability, whether it's running or not.

Is iptables on the OSX?
command line: iptables -L

You could try telling Peerguardian to allow all traffic on port 80.

Not bad, you can trial it and see what you think :)

Under Tiger (OSX 10.4), you can configure the firewall to at least sort out inbound traffic. Apple > System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall.

Not sure about older versions.
