Re: [expert] Blocking Banner ads
up the number of redirectors that squid is allowed to run, If a page has lots of images more redirectors lets them be processed in parallel. I use 4 when connecting to it thru a phone line - but if I use it thru the network at work I sometimes need to up it to more than 8 to get full speed. Also make sure that the script is set to the same user and group id as squid is set to run. In mandrake squid runs as user and group squid - in redhat it runs as nobody. But you have to make sure that what ever squid runs as - squid redirect is set to also. And just to make sure check if it is set to executable. I set mine to nobody for another program that I am trying to use also so my permissions are set like this -rwxrwxr-x 1 nobody nobody 61675 Feb 25 21:10 squid_redirect* to make it easy to keep track of this and to update when there is a new script I made a directory /home/nobody and put it there along with other web stuff that runs as nobody.

I couldn't get squid_redirect to work for me. Half the pages I went to, nothing displayed. After a bit, nothing at all would work, and I saw messages in the logfile about "too many queued redirector processes". Did I miss something that needed changing?

Re: [expert] Blocking Banner ads
Or, you could try junkbuster. I'm using it right now and it's gotten rid of 99% of banner ads. It also blocks cookies.

Re: [expert] Blocking Banner ads
Assuming this is on topic since squid is shipped with mandrake :) How about blocking most banner ads from most web sites. Here is how to do it. setup squid with the access controls that you are comfortable with. Then look on freshmeat for squidredirect it is a simple little script. download it and make it the same user and group as squid - in mandrake that is user and group squid. then look thru squid.conf for the commented out line about redirector helper files and modify it to run this redirector. There are 2 line one is which script to run and the next is how many to run at once. I set mine with 4 with 1 or 2 I had to hit stop and then reload on my browser at times. then in your web browser find the proxy setting and put in you squid machines domain name or ip address and the port number 3128 - unless you changed it from default. -- enjoy -- I have mine running on a machine at work - connected via cat5 to the same T1 that my ISP has all the local modems connected to. Then I have my browser at home filter everything thru it. It sure makes my 33.6 connection seem better when browsing.
