LeechBlock security loophole

[dragonmew]

leechblock has a big security loophole as in if you have this filter on firefox there is a way to disable it very easily, all you have to do is reset the router or turn the router off as residential connections 99% have dynamic ip addresses and this resets leechblock.


what im looking for is a way to close this loophole first thing im going to do is contact the developer of the addon i dunno if its even updated anymore but its worth a shot any other ideas from you guys would also help

why u use leechblock to block websites? u can use ur AV for that or if u want other alternative then u can use
K9 Web Protection.

k9 webprotection is rubbish tbh it blocks sites you dnt even specify. cos ive used it before

ive got my site blocker now im looking on how to get a static ip and how to block the customize bar in firefox

It depends how u customize it.

even so im happy with what leechblock does but im trying to find my own way with help from others on how to fix this loophole where it can be disabled via switching off the router cos of a dynamic ip address ive already sent the email about it to the developer problem is it could be months/years or never if it gets fixed cos the last upadte was a few years ago

It is very difficult to understand what you're trying to say.

You may need to contact your ISP to switch from a Dynamic IP to a Static IP, or take a read here: http://superuser.com/questions/4552...-be-static-yourself-without-changing-your-isp
