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.
- https://www.ip2location.com/free/visitor-blocker (choose peer guardian format)
- 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:5.100.248.0-5.100.255.255If 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
.p2pextension so that qbittorrent will use it. Then, in your qbittorrent client, go toPreferences -> Connection. At the very bottom you should see a section labeledIP 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.
TERF island or the 4th Reich
I get wanting to boycott Israelis due to what their government is doing, but you do realise blocking (the good-ish) half of America is gonna seriously hamper your ability to complete torrents? And if you think the UK is full of TERFs, you probably need to verify your news sources and statistical acumen. You shouldn’t always tar with the same brush…
Aside from this, on a technical merit this is gonna have absolutely zero effect - because in a torrent, you’re part of a mesh - those bits will instantly funnel through peers one way or another, and you’ll never convince enough of the swarm to have an impact. Presumably, the ‘content’ you’re torrenting aligns with your personal ethics anyway, and you’re not spreading hate. So why bother?
Complete and utter waste of time.
The terfedness is largely the (formal and otherwise) aristocracy, yes.
But also, they have no other cultural export of note recently, except for the brand of transphobia that’s been ravaging the world. So terf island. Ill stop when they fix the damage.
never convince enough
Then why bother arguing?
I’ve had obscure torrents that sat idle for weeks until someone with the data i needed logged on.
As a Russian I would say that in 2022 their were similar actions against Russians as well. The only thing it achieved was boosting Putin’s rating and hate towards the west. So, if you want Netanyahu (and alike) to rule forever this is exactly what you need.
forever netenyahu
As if i give a zingle shit about him, when the next ten guys lined up are all just as bad.
Nope. Fuck em.
Yup, there’s a ton of people online who obsess about “doing something”, without thinking of what that’s actually going to achieve or who they’re actually affecting
What’s the point though? The atrocities committed are being orchestrated by the ruling capitalists and politicians in Israel, not the average worker who has no say other than the threat of jail for soldiers who refused to commit them, and even those that do are tricked by indoctrination that it somehow benefits them.
The only ones benefitting are the capitalists, not workers who might be torrenting

The average workers for Israel literally go on the news to yell how happy they are to have a chance to contribute to the atrocities.
Regardless of what you think about political systems, sometimes it’s just that people are inherently evil. As the US elections showed us.
There are numerous reports that the majority of civilians (say about two thirds) supports the genocide.
The remaining third doesn’t support solely because they don’t wanna see their soldiers in danger.
There’s minimal resistance there.Okay, let’s ignore for a moment the fact that most of these reports come from sources who would imperialistically benefit from Israel’s failure (like Iran, Saudi) and the fact that Israelis also have an oppressive government who isn’t afraid to suppress dissent and there might be a degree of intimidation as an incentive for people to just say that they support it - this tells us that ALL of Israeli nationals are ontologically evil. That an entire nationality is a hivemind, and all of them without exception are evil. If this is what you truly believe, then welcome back Adolf Hitler.
As for resistance, even though I personally think protests are pathetic, Israel has those - anti-government and anti-war protests where you have the far-right ramming cars into the protestors. There’s also numerous conscientious objectors in there who were being conscripted into IDF but refused, landing them in jail. Also, active censures from work and school for pro-Palestine sentiments. The latest act of resistance from what I’ve seen was thousands of Israelis marching on a military base to end the starvation in the region.
Now be so kind and stop dehumanizing other people, especially workers.
If this is what you truly believe, then welcome back Adolf Hitler.
Perhaps you should learn how to read. And 1/10 for effort trying to offend me, try harder.
I’ll try again: the vast majority supports genocide and there’s minimal resistance there.
In a population of almost 10 million, “thousands” (which, in journalistspeak, can mean 2001 people) is minimal resistance.
I’m not the one dehumanizing people.
Have a nice day - or not, i don’t care.
