PeerBlock

PeerBlock is a handy tool that helps keep your computer safe from unsecured connections. As its name hints, this portable version makes it super easy to protect your sensitive data without any hassle.

Easy to Use and Portable

The best part about PeerBlock? You don’t need to install it! Just save it on a USB drive or similar device, and you can run it from there on any computer. This means you have the power of PeerBlock wherever you go!

No Messy Installations

Another cool feature is that PeerBlock won’t mess with your Windows Registry. When you remove the app, there are no leftover files cluttering your hard drive. It’s like having a trusty sidekick who doesn't leave a trace!

Control Your Connections

When you start up PeerBlock, there's a wizard that walks you through blocking different types of connections. You can choose to block peer-to-peer organizations (P2P), ads, spyware, or even educational institutions.

If you’re feeling creative, you can also import or create custom block lists. Plus, PeerBlock lets important connections through on ports 80 and 443—even if they’re usually blocked! And don't forget to set it up for regular updates so you're always protected.

User-Friendly Interface

The main window shows all the details about your connections: time, range, source, destination, and protocol. Turning PeerBlock on or off is as easy as clicking a button.

Customize Your Experience

You can check out the history list or clear logs whenever you want! Plus, there are tons of settings to customize notifications and how the log window looks. Want it to start up automatically? No problem—just set it to minimize into the system tray!

Lightweight Performance

PeerBlock is super light on system resources. It runs smoothly without slowing down your computer. During our tests, we didn’t run into any glitches or crashes—so it's pretty reliable overall! However, just keep in mind that there haven’t been updates for a while.
