Actually the one size fits most which suits me perfectly for now is peerguardian with it's GUI interface. I can see instantly if something is being blocked while I am surfing the internet, and unblock it. Adding stuff is a matter of editing my own text file blocklist which is pretty easy, and when it failed to work once, I just checked and freshened the blocklist files, and it worked again. It's awesome, my internet is faster already.
Iptables is not what I wanted, it is the technical bit that I don't need to see. What works on mint is this lot. It would be good to have the equivalent to this for my suse install, and ubuntu.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jre-phoenix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pgld pglcmd pglgui
make a text file called block in the home directory, put the url of a blocklist into that text file.
Code:
cd /
cd etc/pgl
sudo mv blocklists.list "blocklists old.list"
sudo mv /home/mint/block blocklists.list
and some random useful commands.
Code:
sudo pglcmd start
sudo pglcmd stop
sudo pglcmd test
sudo pglcmd status
sudo pglgui
first I probably need to reinstall opensuse, to fix / undo the advice I got at the start of the thread. That would be the only way correct ?
