If you run a Squid proxy, there's another way to achieve similar results (without 404 messages). Put these lines in your sqid conf: acl banned_doms url_regex -i "/usr/local/etc/squid/banned_doms.txt" acl banned_urls dstdomain "/usr/local/etc/squid/banned_urls.txt" http_access deny banned_doms http_access deny banned_urls deny_info ERR_BANNED banned_doms deny_info ERR_BANNED banned_doms The file banned_doms.txt contains one domains per line, for example: .doubleclick.net .doubleclick.com .googlesyndication.com .hitbox.com .adserver.org .usertracker.info The dot prefix means to include the domain _and_ all names under that domain, e.g. ".foo.com" includes foo.com itself as well as www.foo.com, www.bar.foo.com and so on. This "dstdomain" matching is very efficient; in the squid ML someone reported having 600,000 entries in his file of banned domains. The file banned_urls.txt contains extended regular expressions (one per line) that are matched against the full URL of the request, for example: ^http://wodas\.wetteroffline\.de/static/sky_(google|woshop) ^http://oas\.hiese\.de/RealMedia/ads/ Finally, the file errors/$LANG/ERR_BANNED contains something like this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <TITLE>Blocked</TITLE> <STYLE type="text/css"><!--BODY{background-color:#ffffff;font-family:verdana,sans-serif}PRE{font-family:sans-serif}--></STYLE> </HEAD><BODY><p><em><font size="-1">(Ad blocked)</font></em></p></BODY> <!-- Thus you will only get a small text "(Ad blocked)" in place of the ads. If you don't even want that, remove the text between "<BODY>" and "</BODY>" completely. The "<!--" line is important because it prevents Squid's signature from being displayed.
