ADBLOCK for Win2003

[BigDaddy]

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

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...

Privoxy

http://www.privoxy.org/

BFilter

http://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

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
