Installing moblock-deb(MoBlock, NFBlock, blockcontrol and mobloquer) in Ubuntu Linux

moblock-deb provides packages related to IP blocking software, similar to PeerGuardian: In order to protect your privacy internet traffic is blocked based on large lists of IP address ranges. The packages are MoBlock, NFBlock, blockcontrol and mobloquer.
MoBlock and NFBlock are IP block daemons, which do the actual blocking. blockcontrol is a CLI, designed to do all tasks related to IP block daemons (MoBlock or NFBlock). blockcontrol is developed here. It’s available as Debian package and as a separate download for all Linux distributions. mobloquer is a GUI on top of blockcontrol.
blockcontrol features:
* Start and stop IP block daemon. Or let init do this automatically.
* Update your blocklist from online sources and local blocklists. Or let cron do this automatically on a regular basis.
* Remove lines by keyword from the blocklists.
* Handle your iptables rules: use a default setup, easily allow all traffic on specific ports and use an allow list, or add your own sophisticated iptables rules.
* Allow all LAN traffic and the DNS server automatically. If you are on a public LAN, you probably want to disable this feature.
* Check the status and test the IP block daemon.
* A watchdog monitors the IP block daemon and restarts blockcontrol if necessary.
* Detects if kernel modules are needed and loads them if necessary.
* Set verbosity and logging options.
* Provides LSB 3.1 compatible init script.
* Daily rotation of the logfiles.
