i found out about this software today.

installed it and found out loads of people were monitering what i was doing

for example:

timewarner
mahanakorn university
institute of biotechnology
china education and research
university of michigun
university of paris

and many more

Actually it's suppose to reject traffic so they dunno if you're online or not, something like a firewall blocking specific targets.

It's just to stop them from connecting to your computer..
It's more for people who are using P2P software as certain organisations like Sony Ent. etc. will attempt to track people who share files by pretending to be leechers..
PG2 uses updated lists of the IP addresses and stops them from connecting so that they will not be able to track you.

not monitoring your ip only...those university students sharing their piracy software and videos which have known to have caught by RIAA once on Internet2 experiment

using P2P tracker is still legal in many countries?
