BigDaddy Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) On my W2k3 server I would like to set up some sort of ADBLOCK. So the client computers all running FIREFOX wouldnt need the ADBLOCK extension or the hosts file.Can this be achieved??ps. I have OUTPOST firewall installed Edited March 17, 2006 by BigDaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jftuga Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) You can configure your Firefox clients to use a proxy server. In this case, one designed to block ads can be installed on your Win 2003 server.Here are two good ones...Privoxyhttp://www.privoxy.org/BFilterhttp://bfilter.sourceforge.net/In the case of Privoxy, you will need to hunt around the Internet for a updates list of advertising sites. BFilter does not use blacklists, although it can support them. Instead, it uses heuristics, much like modern anti-virus software manages to detect many viruses unknown to it.Good luck,-John Edited March 18, 2006 by jftuga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddy Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) sweet. I like the idea that BFILTER has.But am still not fully satisfied.Is there a way that I could achieve that without setting PROXY on the CLIENTS?Since PROXY breaks the GOOGLE's LUCKY GUESS in FF ps. PEERGUARDIAN2 which I have on the SERVER disables blacklisted IPs for the entire network. Something similar I want also for ADs Edited March 20, 2006 by BigDaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
