Changelog
- Official Update (v4.3.5)
- Peer whitelist/blacklist
Peer whitelist/blacklist:
If you don't know how to use or don't know regular expressions or something else,
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU NOT TO USE THAT FEATURE.
Whitelist:
The prerequisite of connecting to the plugin is to define a list of expressions describing peers (peer id + client name), everything that don't match these rules is dropped (connection is closed).
whitelist rules are placed in external file 'peer_whitelist.txt', located in qBittorrent data directory.
If there is NO such file, this plugin cannot be activated.
Since there are many old/minority clients we don't know.
#238 suggested whitelist only cover well-known bittorrent clients, it may false drop someone who using old/minority client.
So....USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I hope you know what are you doing :)
