Want to see who is trying to access your computer? I can show you.

When I go on certain porn sites I get a lot of IPs coming back to a law firm that focuses on internet censorship lol.

then your computer is loaded with internet STDs. Just visiting a webpage will infect your computer.

Want to know who is watching you on your computer and block them? This is from my buddys computer. This is the kind of stuff or people are watching him.

He asks "

Why is the Kuwait Ministry of Communications trying to access my computer?" And goes on to say "​

It's Peer Block. I turn it on every time I start my laptop. I've blocked the US Army, Saudi Arabia Oil Companies, Time Warner, Amazon..... the list is endless."

I sense paranoia.
See the left column, labeled "source"? The IP address begins with 192.168.x.x, right? That's a local, non-routable address. Meaning the source is *his* computer.
See the column labeled "destination"? See the number after the colon? It's an 80, which means port 80, which is the port your computer uses when it accesses a web page.

So basically *he* is trying to connect to Kuwait's ministry of communications web server. Why? I dunno. Could be that another web page he's looking at has pictures embedded that are hosted on the ministry's website.

Much like your post makes my computer access fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net , which is where the screenshot you posted happens to be hosted.

Now I say paranoid, because note that he's behind a NAT firewall. Meaning NO ONE can connect to his computer unless he connects to theirs first. The fact that his IP address ends in 119 leads me to believe that he's behind the firewall with about 20 other computers, so I'm guessing either at an internet cafe, or at work.

If someone tried to connect to *his* computer, the NAT router wouldn't know *which* computer on the local network to send the connection to, and it would be dropped.

Peerblock doesn't just stop others from accessing you, it stops *you* from accessing *them*, which would kind of suck hard if you went to Internal Revenue Service and *didn't* see some important info because peerblock blocked access.

Im sure I can find this out on my own. the options I'm givien are, add PPTP, L2TP and L2TP/IPSec PSK VPN's.

Edit. the link is helpful. thanks.

Phones today are too easy to hack, record and trace.

I just finished a proposal for a client and some more of this security topic has been refreshed into my memory. you won't be able to use PPTP over the cloud as the download/upload path has to be the same, you would have to be using something like a leased line (T1, SONNET, etc.). the IP addresses have to be registered in order for PPTP to operate. which makes me wonder why that option is even available on a mobile device. regardless try L2TP, it should be fairly easy to setup for mobile access from your phone into a private network over the cloud.

Interesting info. I am going to load this and check it out tonight and see who's been in my system...or at least talking to it. Does this ONLY happen when you log into the web or can they still access as long as you have the computer on?

Its all about tracking cookies that are installed when you visit websites. Such as FB. They track every page you visit. So I use CCleaner to clear all tracking plus more.

you have options for to allow HTTP pages. I only allow it to load HTTPS sites. If its a page I need and I have to unblock HTTP I will but It doesnt block any parts of the web page or information.
