This is the README.TOO file for Stefan's version of the Internet Junkbuster (from http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster/). Installation: ------------- Install the RPM with the usual command `rpm -Uvh foobar.rpm'. Since we run the Junkbuster as user `nobody', cd to a directory where `nobody' as read access (in particular NOT /root) and issue (as root) /etc/rc.d/init.d/junkbuster start This will be done automagically for you any time you boot your machine. Configuration: -------------- To let Junkbuster take `care' of the ads, you have to setup your browser to use the Junkbuster. Short instructions for the advanced user: Configure Netscape to use localhost on port 8000 as a proxy server. Detailed instructions for the beginner: Remove Internet Explorer and install Netscape. No `real' user would ever use MSIE. Though the Junkbuster works with IE as well. Read http://www.junkbusters.com/ht/en/ijbfaq.html#browser Check to see if the Junkbuster works correctly by surfing to http://localhost/show-proxy-args or any other place and add the text `/show-proxy-args' to the URL. Ok? Then enjoy your ad-free surfing. Mailinglists: ------------- In case you are interested in the Junkbuster, there are two mailinglists (junkbuster-users and junkbuster-announce). Instructions on how to subscribe and unsubscribe are at http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster/ Comments: --------- I would greatly appreciate feedback for this program. Send comments to Stefan Waldherr <stefan@waldherr.org> (in either German or English). I prefer plain text. I you happen to see an ad which got thru the filter PLEASE drop me a mail. Have fun, Stefan.
