It's a very good proxy, and highly configurable (though this means that it takes a little while to set up). Tied into squid I have adZap: http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/adzap/ Which is basically a giant blacklist of URLs that squid blocks ads from. It works very well (IMHO), and there's a cron job included to automagically get the latest ad blocking URLs once a week. It blocks images, javascript, flash, and java ads, and replaces them with either a blank space, or a message that says "This Ad Zapped". Very nice. I don't know much about the other proxies; you might be able to get adZap to work with them as well if you don't need the overhead of squid. If you want to try that approach, I can share configs if you run into trouble. Jason -- Jason Healy http://www.logn.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
