The Un-Official Proxomitron Forum

Hello all!

I just installed Mandrake 10.1 and I'm wondering if there are any similar programs to Proxomitron for Mandrake 10.1/Linux.

I had forgotten how annoying those ads are without my Proxomitron, but I don't think there's a Linux version of it or Proxomodo.

If there are any similar programs or other easily configurable proxy programs for Linux I'd appreciate some referrals!

I basically need it for ad blocking, that's all.

This should help, although I don't know how to configure it

Melly;

You can go over to sourceforge and snatch the source code for Proximodo, and then compile it for Mandrake, that might work. Or, you can locate and install a copy of WINE (WINdows Emulator), and run Proxo under that. A few people here have reported doing that, somewhat successfully IIRC, but on other boards around the net, WINE has been getting a mixed reputation. That's why I suggest that you find a known good Mandrake-friendly implementation.

Good luck, and do keep us posted.
