Syntax

ipfilter.exe [options] [inputs] [outputs]

Options

/silent

Launch, run and exit silently. Useful for when automating IPFilter yourself.

/service

Instruct IPFilter to register itself as a Windows service, and start running.

service install service uninstall service Run as a service service install hugo server

Supported file formats

.zip, .gzip, .dat, .json

Inputs

You can specify inputs as URIs / URLs or file system paths (including UNC paths).

The supported file formats are auto-detected and can chain. For example, you can specify a json file that has been zipped. The file will automatically be downloaded, unzipped and then the filters specified inside will then be downloaded.

This allows you to curate your single ipfilter.dat from several disparate sources, such as lists published on the net, your local network or your machine.

Outputs

Support output formats

app: - ut|utorrent, bt|bittorrent, qbt|qbittorrent, auto (all installed apps will be updated), autoscan (aggressively scan for apps, useful for portable versions) o|out|output:URI/URL/filepath - Outputs / pushes to the destination(s).

You can also output the final list to a network share or push to a web point to publish your combined list for others.

You can output the configuration to a JSON file to parse in next time. You can also output your sources into your own JSON input file.

Examples

ipfilter

Downloads the latest default list, and installs it to all detected Bit Torrent applications.

ipfilter https://servername/ipfilter.gzip \\server\shared\ipfilter.dat o:C:\Temp\ipfilter.dat

Downloads and combines two lists from a gzipped-list from the internet and a local network share, then saves it to a local file.
