iplist – block bad p2p traffic HOWTO on a headless server.

iplist is cool. It sits inline with any current firewall that you have and filters selected (government, bad trackers, etc) traffic.

This is how i installed it on a headless edgy server.

apt-get install libnetfilter-queue1sun-java5-jre libnfnetlink1
 cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/iplist/iplist_0.19-0etch1_i386.deb
dpkg --force-depends -i iplist_0.19-0etch1_i386.deb
sed -i 's/AUTOSTART="No"/AUTOSTART="Yes"/' /etc/ipblock.conf
update-rc.d ipblock defaults
ipblock -u
/etc/init.d/ipblock start
