Thanks for the info. I found a very detailed filter file for junkbuster
which catches about 98% of the ads from sites in the US. I've been very
pleased.
I got interested in junkbuster while trying to determine which proxy
server to use to bypass the office's proxy... OpenSSH + ${proxy_of_choice}
makes a great combination. Incorporating an ad filter to the web proxy
cuts down enormously on bandwidth.
