PeerBanHelper is a free, open-source BitTorrent protection utility designed to identify and block unwanted, abusive, or suspicious peers. It connects to supported torrent clients through their web APIs and monitors active peer connections. Detection rules identify suspicious client identities, false download progress, and abnormal sharing behavior. Users can configure IP address, geographic, network type, and client-based blocklists. Community-maintained rule subscriptions provide additional protection against known problematic peers. Its web dashboard displays active bans, historical records, peer information, and blocking statistics. GeoIP integration identifies peer locations, network providers, and autonomous system information. PeerBanHelper supports qBittorrent, Deluge, BiglyBT, Transmission, and BitComet.
