  Description     : moblock-deb provides packages related to IP blocking software, similar to PeerGuardian: In order to protect your privacy internet traffic is blocked based on large lists of IP address ranges. The packages are MoBlock, NFBlock, blockcontrol and mobloquer.

Features:
blockcontrol has the following features:

    * Start and stop IP block daemon. Or let init do this automatically.
    * Update your blocklist from online sources and local blocklists. Or let cron do this automatically on a regular basis.
    * Remove lines by keyword from the blocklists.
    * Handle your iptables rules: use a default setup, easily allow all traffic on specific ports and use an allow list, or add your own sophisticated iptables rules.
    * Allow all LAN traffic and the DNS server automatically. If you are on a public LAN, you probably want to disable this feature.
    * Check the status and test the IP block daemon.
    * A watchdog monitors the IP block daemon and restarts blockcontrol if necessary.
    * Detects if kernel modules are needed and loads them if necessary.
    * Set verbosity and logging options.
    * Provides LSB 3.1 compatible init script.
    * Daily rotation of the logfiles.
