ProtoWall (formerly eWall) is a closed-source freeware program for IP blocking that is similar to PeerGuardian from Phoenix Labs. It is designed to block connections from organizations such as MediaSentry, BayTSP and MediaDefender while using filesharing networks. ProtoWall achieves this via a low-level driver that filters network traffic.

  • ProtoWall (formerly eWall) is a closed-source freeware program for IP blocking that is similar to PeerGuardian from Phoenix Labs. It is designed to block connections from organizations such as MediaSentry, BayTSP and MediaDefender while using filesharing networks. ProtoWall achieves this via a low-level driver that filters network traffic. It is capable of filtering all NDIS protocols including IPV6 and, most importantly, TCP/IP and UDP – two protocols which are essential for the operation of file-sharing software. The driver sits at a low-level in the system and consequently there is only a small loss of performance when the driver is active. ProtoWall's filtering is controlled by the use of blocklists, text files containing the IP addresses of organisations opposed to file-sharing, and the related Blocklist Manager program. Although it works in a similar manner, ProtoWall is not a fully-featured software firewall and is not suitable for securing a computer from internet-based attacks, however it can be used alongside a firewall without problems. Unlike similar programs such as PeerGuardian 2 and MoBlock, ProtoWall remains closed-source. The creators of ProtoWall state that ProtoWall remains closed-source to "prevent cloning and others stealing its code."
  • Protowall ist ein sogenannter „IP-Blocker“, eine Software, die gezielt den Kontakt des eigenen PCs mit IP-Adressen von unerwünschten Unternehmen, Behörden oder sonstigen Einrichtungen verhindert.
  • Protowall är ett NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) IP-filter som tagits fram av B.I.S. S (Bluetack Internet Security Solutions) och detta datorprogram ska kunna köras självständigt vid sidan av en brandvägg för att blockera en stor mängd IP som många brandväggar inte klarar av. ProtoWall är baserat på Windows XPs egna drivers och integrerar sig i själva operativsystemet vilket betyder att de behöver väldigt lite systemresurser.
