NOTE: PeerGuardian is NO LONGER updated since 2016. This tutorial only works in old Ubuntu 16.04 and earlier.
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to install the PeerGuardian Linux (pgl) on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty, 12.04 Precise using ppa repository.
PeerGuardian Linux (pgl) is a privacy oriented firewall application. It blocks connections to and from hosts specified in huge blocklists (thousands or millions of IP ranges). Its origin seeds in targeting aggressive IPs while you use P2P.
PeerGuardian Linux is actively developed. However the team is very small and with few spare time. Contributors are welcome! Check out http://peerguardian.sourceforge.net.
A ppa repository has been created to make it easy to install for Ubuntu and Linux Mint users. Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal, then follow the below steps:
1.) Run this command in terminal to add the ppa repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jre-phoenix/ppa
2.) Update the package lists to make it available:
sudo apt-get update
3.) Finally instal it:
sudo apt-get install pgld pglcmd pglgui
there is one little mistake, your missing a D
3.) Finally instal it:
sudo apt-get install pglD pglcmd pglgui
Updated! Thanks for your comment.
oh yes, and after installation you can start peerguardian with:
sudo pglgui
Did everything you said got this:
E: Unable to locate package pglD
E: Unable to locate package pglcmd
E: Unable to locate package pglgui
what am I missing?? Linux Mint 15
If you have problem with the PPA, directly download the DEBs from this page. You may manually fix the dependency problem by
sudo apt-get -f installHello,
I copied and pasted the written commands, and recieved the following error message in my terminal window:
