Or just requests for it? Or what? Never really knew what it did.

RE: Does Peer Guardian actually hide your IP?
taken from wikipedia

"Operation

On Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, PeerGuardian uses a driver to queue all incoming and outgoing connections. Connections are checked for their status in the blocklist using a binary search."

i would think this would prevent blocklisted IPs from seeing your IP because there would never be a connection on their end.

Meh, I'm certain that authorities would know about this application, and could easily bypass it if they wanted to.  I guess, it does make you feel safer perhaps, but in practice, IDK.

I don't use it. I generally don't care if cops want to waste their time stalking me.

In fact. I couldn't care less.
