With sidki's set, you may be 'coding' more than you want. Regardless...

The UA for IE10 runnig on Win7 is
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0)

Add

Code:

$SET(keyword=$GET(keyword)f_ua_§Mozilla/5%2e0 (compatible; MSIE 10%2e0; Windows NT 6%2e1; Trident/6%2e0).)(^)
~$SET(keyword=$GET(keyword)f_ua_§Mozilla/5%2e0 (compatible; MSIE 10%2e0; Windows NT 6%2e1; Trident/6%2e0).)(^)

to Exceptions-U.

That should do nothing. Uncommenting is not in the instructions.

## $SET(0=f_ua_§Mozilla/1%2e22 (compatible; MSIE 2%2e0; Windows 95).)

The expectation was to change the UA per site but for your limited use you could just add $SET(0=f_ua_§Mozilla/5%2e0 (compatible; MSIE 10%2e0; Windows NT 6%2e1; Trident/6%2e0).) but this would limit future use.

It still can

Code:

[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "User-Agent: IE10 Win7  (out) "
Match = "*"
Replace = "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0)"

Error reported is generally access denied based on browser signature.

I've never seen this error. I can't see your browser signature to see what the problem may be. It is possible that headers are modified after they leave your computer or your router/modem.

It will also challenge visitors that do not have a user agent or a non standard user agent (also commonly used by abuse bots, crawlers or visitors).

Ok thanks much for that. I tried searching for the source of this browser challenge but did not find, as you did, one of the probably sources.

I was curious how and why they were doing it and you have enlightened me on that. It's a continual cat and mouse game nowadays and the web has become alot more complicated and hazardous than before.

I decided just to add some common agent strings to the original Proxom. filters, it's much easier than messing with code. Eventually I suppose I have to learn html, php, coding, etc after the other dozen things I have to learn for which I will probably never get around to.

The original proxomitron was much more user friendly than these new filters which I guess is as it should be since the original author is dead, the program has never really been updated since then and seems that only the hanger on techies are still using it. I really like the log real time feature as I have not yet found a good sniffer program that works on XP/wifi which would be even more useful.

I am happy for any attempt to improve the program but am frustrated that its not as easy as the original program.
