Where do you see them being blocked?
In the security list, or in downloads?

At the moment system rules are enabled and I don't know how to disable them from the GUI.

It would be possible to add an option for deactivating them, but that would decrease the efficiency of Phex, since it also uses these block-lists when forwarding messages and for alt-locs, etc. - means: It doesn't bother processing anything which has any connection to these blocked hosts. I don't know if your software will go as deep.

Does it block incoming packets which don't originate directly from the blocked range but only have an IP from the blocked range somewhere in the header?

In security list. Some examples:


192.168.1.64/255.255.255.248 -Trigger count: 40031
192.168.1.100/255.255.255.252 -Trigger count: 38682
192.168.1.2/255.255.255.254 -Trigger count: 32875
10.0.0.4/255.255.255.252 -Trigger count: 1699

...

I have more search results with Phex 2.8 than with 3.0, and more sources for downloading.

That is the exact question that I get alot... which is the reason I posted the original question.

I try to explain to the person that Phex is filtering out download sources that probably aren't going to help your download experience... however, the next question is "Where does Phex get the "lists" of bad IP ranges" (hence this post).

Thanks for the answer above as I now have a more definite answer to provide the users asking the questions.

Go Phex!
