6. Step Five

6.1 Installing InternetJunkbuster

First, go to http://www.internet.junkbuster.com/ijb20.tar.Z to get internet junkbuster version 2.0

Go to where you downloaded the file. Let's unpack it:

And walla, if you want, for convenience sake, issue: cp /ijb20/junkbuster /usr/bin

I have an already-compiled sitelist that blocks pretty much any ad, and lets everything else come through. To get it, hold down shift and click here (updated 1/13/00) or if you want my full *.ini (which might be helpful to look over) in tar-gz format (to unpack, tar -zxvf ini.tgz), grab ini.tgz (updated 1/12/00). You will need to issue the command: cp sblock.ini /ijb20. What is so nice about this proxy inparticular that I've noticed is that it reads this .ini file on the fly, which means once you find an ad banner popping up (however, they don't stop them from popping, but the proxy will stop it from loading the ad (saving you the bandwidth)) - you can just pico /ijb20/sblock.ini and add the site in, and next time you go there, it will be blocked!

To run internet junkbuster, you have to issue the command: junkbuster /ijb20/junkbstr.ini & (you might want to add this to your rc.local file to make it load every boot, don't forget the & though.. or it'll hang at boot-time!)

Here is my junkbstr.ini file which is basically the configuration file: because internet junkbuster only needs to filter http traffic!!):

(all the comments are edited out, and just the important parts of the file are listed here)

blockfile               /ijb20/sblock.ini       # comments are OK here,

cookiefile              /ijb20/scookie.ini

logfile                 /ijb20/cookies

jarfile                 /ijb20/cookiejarfile

forwardfile             /ijb20/sforward.ini

listen-address          :8000

user-agent              .

If you want to daisy chain the proxy servers in unison, check out the sforward.ini file.

Go ahead and run it and test it out!
