Guide for using Blocklist Manager

To start with you can download Blocklist manager from the Bluetack website

1. First thing you do when you open Blocklist Manager is to click the Sources button. This will update the list of sources in the options.


2. When it's done, go into the options and review the list of sources and enable the ones you want to use
   (A detailed description of what each one is can be found on the bluetack website but for general use or for p2p blocking, the level1 list should be sufficient).


3. Exit out of the options and hit the Process button and Blocklist Manager will download the list of IP's to block from the sources you selected in the previous step. This may take a couple of minutes as the lists can be quite large and it will also merge the lists etc.


4. Now that you have a complete list of IP's to block you can export it for use in other programs.
   c:\program files\azureus\plugins\safepeer\safepeer.blocklist.cache is the default location for the azureus plugin which is what I used for the rest of the guide.
