"proxy_port" error - neem - Dec. 25, 2008 11:13 AM
Hello Everyone,
I recently setup BFilter 1.1.4 per the instructions and found it to be working like a charm in filtering ads.. though I receive this error in the Operations Log when BFilter starts up :
Loading config ...
[config:85] Illegal value for "proxy_port"
Loading forwarding configuration ... done
Loading standard url patterns ... done
Loading local url patterns ... done
Loading content filters ... done
Loading cache ... done
I have a home network consisting of two Vista PCs (DHCP w/Vista firewall enabled) behind a wireless router. I am using BFilter only with Google Chrome (not Firefox) and I’ve configured Chrome’s proxy settings as specified in the instructions (http only, 127.0.0.1:8080). No changes to BFilter's default settings have been changed.
Does something need to be opened on my router and/or Vista’s firewall? Does my local IP need to be added to the "listen_address"?
I appreciate the help.. thanks!

proxy_port doesn't have anything to do with listen_address. proxy_port is used for forwarding traffic to yet another proxy. I don't think you are actually doing that, so just find that line (the error message says it's line 85) and remove it.

Jart, thank you very much for the quick reply. I commented out the last line (line 85) in the advanced config:
; proxy_port=8118;https=127.0.0.1:8118
and the error no longer appeared. Thank you for the tip.
Despite the setting "use_proxy" is set to "no", is there a reason why BFilter still tries to forward to another proxy and why I was getting the error?
Thanks again, Jart.
