[SLUG] RE: Junkbuster

[Bill <billb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since I posted my original request re Junkbuster, I've been reading the 
posts re same (Thanks to those people who replied directly via email - 
still no success - see below).

Regarding filtering web pages, there is a great free program (closed 
source) for windows caled The Proxomitron (http://proxomitron.cjb.net/) 
which filters the web to an extremely high degree and allows user creation 
of filters. Much of the filter code is available, so could possibly be 
applied in some way to Junkbuster, I also believe that the program is 
written in Delphi, and if so, is a prime candidate for conversion with Kylix.

RE my problems with Junkbuster, I cannot connect to it with either Opera, 
Konqueror or Galeon when these programs have their proxy settings pointed 
to localhost:8000 (Junkbuster's default), however, without the proxy 
setting (bypassing Junkbuster) I can connect to the web. Therefore my 
problem is with Junkbuster.

I am also running Bastille (Mandrake 8.0).

My Junkbuster settings are as follows:-

In "aclfile" I have uncommented:-

permit localhost

in "forward" I have added:-

* proxy.viper.net.au:8080               .       .
viper.net.au    .       .

( these are correct - the proxy ine is what I use in my Windows browser and 
my ISP has verified that its correct - he also stated that he has an 
autoproxy, so in fact I don't need to enter a proxy setting in my Browser 
and therefore I assume the same applies to the "forward" file).

in "config" I have uncommented:-

blockfile       /etc/junkbuster/blocklist
imagefile       /etc.junkbuster/imagelist
cookiefile      /etc/junkbuster/cookiefile
logfile /var/log/junkbuster/junkbuster
forwardfile     /etc/junkbuster/forward
aclfile /etc/junkbuster/aclfile
listen-address  localhost
tinygif 2
debug   16

When I set my browser proxy to localhost:8000 I get the error message " 
could not connect to proxy server:access denied (or similar, depending on 
browser used).

Junkbuster is running (ps ax | grep junkbuster).

As I CAN connect to the web with my browser if I leave the proxy setting 
blank, then the browser must be getting its proxy setting from viper's 
autoproxy, and accessing via Bastille, therefore maybe Junkbuster's 
"forward" file should point to Bastille and not to "proxy.viper.net.au:8080"?.

Any help or operational acl/forward/config files appreciated.

Thanks
