appearent media temple has a few anti p2p clients using their servers. my machine suddenly was unable to access any of my servers via ftp or ssh. only this time it wasn’t a vista dns issue.

Why? http://peerguardian.sourceforge.net/lists/p2p.php

mediatemple is listed as antip2p. to get around this make an allow list with your servers ip. this also applys with other servers. theres an indian server i use sometimes thats also in a blocked range. crystal has some blocked ranges as well.

if you want to create your list manually here’s an example

label:ipstart-ipend

label is a name you’ll remember for the iprange. ipstart is the starting ip of your range. ipend is the end of the range. if you only have 1 ip use it for both ipstart and ipend. save the file and open it as an allow list in peer guardian.
