List and Filter descriptions

What lists should I use?

We strongly recommend the use of at least the following lists while doing p2p:

And the use of an IP-filter in your p2p-program.

Bogon List

This list contains ranges from which no traffic should be appearing on the internet.
These ranges are either for internal use of some sort or are address space not currently in use.

Hijacked List

The ranges on this list have been hijacked by people who are spammers, generally up to no good, and who may be involved with other activities which are a threat.


The individual lists are not currently being updated and should only be used for supplemental protection.
