There are 2 that I am aware of. "moblock" and "pglinux". "moblock" has Debian/Ubuntu packages available but I do not see any for rpm land. "pglinux" is beta; it builds under C5.5 but I've yet do any extensive testing of it. You would need to roll your own rpms for this package as the build doesn't target rpm systems at all.

Some quick google-fu will net you the links for both of the above.

sorry for the question, but i looking for this kind of application :O

Questions are good. Why apologize? :)

iptables is the standard method of filtering network traffic on Linux, apparently Peerguardian is a Windows network filter, one that uses various 'lists' from elsewhere, but there's no explanation what the criteria for these lists are? I've read peerguardian's website and its rather unclear on just what these 'lists' are supposed to block?

it sounds like you want to let various 3rd parties decide just what internet servers you can connect to?

anyways, on peerguardian's website, there's a link to something mobloq which is apparently peerguardian for linux, and works via iptables.
