I was going to make this exact tutorial but when making it I found out someone beat me to it about a year ago so I figured I’d repost that one instead since it’s a bit more in depth. Also while in many countries people use VPNs to torrent, making measures like this less helpful, occupiers of Palestine don’t really tend to use a VPN due to minimal prosecution so catching them with this method is a lot easier than it would be against a country like the US for example.

We first need to obtain a blocklist of all possible Israeli ip addresses. This can be obtained from two sources.

1. https://www.ip2location.com/free/visitor-blocker (choose peer guardian format)
2. https://www.iblocklist.com/

Due to the nature of how IP addresses are distributed, these blocklists have to be updated, but that isn’t a huge concern for us right now.

When you downloaded the file for Israel from either site, it should look something like this:

Israel:2.16.36.0-2.16.36.255
Israel:2.22.233.0-2.22.233.255
Israel:2.52.0.0-2.55.255.255
Israel:2.57.228.0-2.57.231.255
Israel:2.58.33.0-2.58.33.255
Israel:3.2.42.0-3.2.42.63
Israel:3.5.56.0-3.5.59.255
Israel:5.22.128.0-5.22.135.255
Israel:5.28.128.0-5.28.191.255
Israel:5.29.0.0-5.29.255.255
Israel:5.100.248.0-5.100.255.255

If you wish to add more nations to the list such as TERF island or the 4th Reich, then you can append the files on top of each other into one file.

Once you have the file, rename it with the .p2p extension so that qbittorrent will use it. Then, in your qbittorrent client, go to Preferences -> Connection. At the very bottom you should see a section labeled IP Filtering. In the Filter Path checkbox, select your .p2p file. You may also check the box to block trackers as well.

In other bittorrent software (hopefully you’re using one that’s libre) there should be a similar option for ip filtering.

There you go! You have effectively banned Israel from being your peer while you’re doing p2p transfers. This won’t stop Zionists from peering with you using a VPN or other undetected server, but this has done wonders for my mood.

Always remember to port forward and seed when torrenting (A non-Zionist VPN like AirVPN or ProtonVPN can allow you to do that). Only a Zionist does a download and run.

From the discussion post:

I was talking on my part, don’t know about others. I’m a constant seeder (7+ years) and monitor peers from time to time or when downloading something. During these years I’ve never seen a single Israeli seed on a rare torrent, or high download traffic from them. I’m being completely honest, the only time I see them is when they are downloading something from me.
