JD's config set (updated 08-12-02)

[bakoma]

HI

sorry for my poor english

I use your config set and it works great for me (much better than the old one)

But I have one problem with the Tag-Manger. I deactivated the META-Tag in the blocklist, because it blocks other charsets (8859-1 don't work in eastern-europe).
Is there an other way for this?


The :"Kill - comment block ads {3.d}" blocks only this way:

e.g.: start Banner

but there are many ads in this form:

e.g.: Banner start

How can I change this filter to block both variations.


bye

Hiya Bakoma,

You can try 8859-2, or try this filter instead. I've only tested it on one site..

Name = "Preserve Foreign content-type {1}"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)"
Bounds = "<metas*>"
Limit = 256
Match = "1 charset=$AV(2) 3"
Replace = "1 charset=2 3 $STOP()"

 

quote: The :"Kill - comment block ads {3.d}" blocks only this way:

e.g.: start Banner

but there are many ads in this form:

e.g.: Banner start

That ones a bit tougher.. If you know of a comment that begins with "banner", you could add it to the beginning of th bounds match.

e.g., <!-- (start|auto|open|begin|banner)s

You may also have to add it to the end of the bounds match.

e.g., *<!-- (end|auto|complete|inserted|done|banner)s*-->

Thats simple enough. Now here's were the problem is.. If we were to add all the different words an unwanted comment may start with, the list would grow quite large, most likely resulting in a performance lost. (slower filtering)

To me "Kill - comment block ads" is a couple steps above a site specific filter, but not quite a general filter.

Hope I didn't confuse you.

Hi Everybody , I'm the new kid on the street ( Vermont , USA ) and would like some help if you have the time . I would like to add some filters as seen here in the forums but I need to be " spoon fed " ! Where do I start ? Prox has been a real challenge since I dl'ed it a couple of days ago but what an incredible program ! Nice to be here ; beautiful site !! Ralph

 

[JD5000]

Howdy ree1,

Welcome aboard.

I think your question would be best asked in the "Questions and Answers" forum. If you repost it there, I'm sure you'll get more answers.


If your using my config, you can copy & paste a filter into the "dummy.cfg" & then merge it with your default.

     1. Copy the new filter to Clipboard.
     2. Paste the filter into the Correct area of the "dummy config". (patterns, headers, lists)
     3. Merge the "dummy config" with the your config. (File -> Merge Config Filters)

hey JD,
you mention in the Q&A forum that you might have cleared up the 4.3 page not load problem by adjusting your style sheet filter. Is this something I could do (rudimentary knowledge only, cut & paste solution would be good) or should I await further developments?


 

[JD5000]

Hiya

I dunno if it really helps.. But here ya go.

http://home.satx.rr.com/jd5000/Proxo/stlyes.cfg

I made it into a merge-able config. Let me know if it helps any.

Question:

I find that if I use the ACR filters I still need to enable the Kill Ad tables filter.

If I disable, as suggested in your config, certain Ad Tables get thru.

The same thing occurs if i disable the Kill - comment-pair delimited ads filter.

?

 

[JD5000]

Howdy nightfishing,

ACR was meant to work by itself, but it doesn't hurt to add an extra ad filter if needed.

This is from the ACR readme.

# Similar Filters in Default.cfg:
#
#   This is a list of filters from the default set in the Proxomitron
#   distribution that can be disabled when using the ACR.  Some of these
#   are filters that kill all uses of a technology that might not be
#   needed if the filters were only used to remove ads.
#
#   The order is as they appear in the default set.
#
#   - Banner Blaster (limit text)
#   - Banner Blaster (full text)
#   - Kill JavaScript Banners
#   - Kill specific Java applets
#   - Flash animation killer
#   - Counter Killer (if you have counter servers in your ad keyword lists.)
#   - Kill off-site Images
#   - Kill add-on JavaScripts
#   - Sound Silencer (This default filter "silences" all embedded plugins!)
#   - Kill Layers

Can you give me a sample site? Just curious...

~HTH, JD

It's the "User-Agent: Rotate (Out) {5.a}" header filter. I forgot to disable it before I uploaded the config... Sorry about that, I'll update the file right now.
