Convert a file to P2B

To convert other file formats to the "IP Blocklist" file type, you need software like PeerBlock or a similar tool.


About P2B files

A .p2b file is a binary IP blocklist created by PeerBlock or its predecessor, PeerGuardian. Unlike standard text lists, the .p2b format compiles IP ranges into a proprietary binary structure to reduce file size and improve load times for older hardware. Users typically encounter these files when trying to migrate legacy firewall rules to modern security tools (like simplewall or router blacklists) or when auditing "bad IP" lists for false positives. Because it is a binary blob, you cannot open it in Notepad or Excel. To make the data usable, you must convert it to a plain text format (often with a p2p or txt extension) using the original PeerBlock List Manager or a dedicated parsing script.

Convert.Guru analyzes your P2B file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
