Default Re: Internet Security

Peerblock and Tor and totally different technologies.

Peerblock supposedly blocks specific other computers on the peer network from accessing your shared files and seeing what you have available. It is happening at the client level.

For what I know, it's relatively easy to defeat this type of solution especially since they use lists of known "bad" computers. This has to be maintained and it can't know all the IP's the govt, etc. uses.

Onion networks, as Mark stated, are using routing with encryption to hide your request. Also as he stated, this will almost always introduce latency so if you are using this to play latency sensitive games, you won't be happy as your superhero will be getting t-boned.

Neither really protect your system from getting malware or hacked.
