When you see that the lists are all updated, repeat the steps above to "Block" the "Educational" list again (it should always be blocked except when updating the P2P block list) Blocking and Allowing has nothing to do with the check boxes in the list manager window. My P2P list update took 10 seconds or so. Then Click "OK".Ĭlick on "Check Updates" And hopefully you will see the P2P list start to update. Click on the "Allow" radio button (Temporarily, you will change it back to Block once the update is finished). Below that, over to the left side, are 2 radio buttons "Block" and "Allow", yours is probably set to "Block" which is the default setting. ![]() The URL listed should be "" (at least that is what my PG2 has listed). The description should say "Educational". You will see the "Edit" button become clickable once 'Educational' is highlighted, Click on the "Edit" button. But I hope it will work for you the first time, as it worked for me the first time.Ĭlick on PG2's "List Manager" button, Click on the word "Educational", (do not uncheck the "Educational" check box). If the below update does not work the first time, you may want to try it a few more times, several minutes apart. I didn't have to wait for traffic for long, but you may want to let PG2 run for a few minutes before trying the update. Wait for traffic to start showing up the IP Info window(the window that shows all of the IPs flying downward, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly). (If you already have PG2 running, don't close it, just proceed reading below.) Open the bit torrent client of your choice, you should be downloading or uploading something so IP traffic will show up in the PG2 IP Info window (the window that shows all of the IPs flying downward) when you launch PG2. To all of you that are having trouble updating the P2P block list in PG2, I hope this workaround works for you as easily as it did for me. Thanks to the folks at Phoenix Labs for all of their hard work to get the updates up and running again. ![]() Go HEREand read the forum posts about Peer Guardian 2, it is where I got the information to post here in the Afterdawn P2P software forum. If Peer Guardian 2 is not updating the blocklists or showing blocklist errors, delete the lists from the list manager, close PG2, start PG2 again and click on the "Check Updates" button. Instead, simply close Peer Guardian 2, go to the Windows "Program Files" folder (C:\Program Files\Peerguardian2), and delete the "Peer Guardian 2" folder from there. Peer Guardian 2 can be downloaded at Do not use Windows "Add/Remove Programs" to uninstall Peer Guardian 2 (choosing that option will not remove the folder or the blocklists). If your Peer Guardian 2 software is crashing, you should uninstall the software and then reinstall it. ***Peer Guardian 2 has had some problems as of late, but it appears that Phoenix Labs has fixed them.
