AP2P hits from peerblock on a fresh installation. wtf?

Hi, I formatted My seedbox today, Now that I have it running again with a fresh copy of server08.. I installed malwarebytes, Chrome, Utorrent and Peerblock and havn't done anything else but install those.

Now when I restart I get hits from peerblock saying its blocking various IP's from universities and Ap2p, from the random Utorrent port. Why is this so?

Is anyone able to explain why this happens?

Because peerblock is overparanoid and the blocklists are poorly maintained.

My point is, why is it even connecting to these IP's as the processes trying to do so is Services.exe and svchost.exe and if the connection had anything to do with windows why is it trying to use the utorrent port.

EDIT: when I got peer block to show all IP's being allowed there was thousands, and utorrent had downloaded like 50kb then I realized DHT was on.

...but still...Services.exe? instead of utorrent.exe? wtf.

either way all good now.

Ipv6 over ipv4 tunnel.

Peerblock blocking it means peerblock is blocking something legitimate.

Another reason to not trust blocklists.

Post again for the bump:

Looks like your view on ip blocking software is a bit too bleak, yes it does block some things that are good, however in my case theres nothing good to block as I don't browse on this machine. but currently there has been NO blocked things when windows starts up once DHT was turned off.

Blocklists don't protect you from anything.

They are currently suspected of actually funneling you into anti-p2p groups' IP ranges.

My view on IP blocking is bleak because the environment is filled with half-truths (on the good days) and outright lies from the blocklist maintainers.
