Blocking ip's...

[geriatric]

Great response!

I gotta say for future converstations, I don't know much programming, but I am overly familiar with where everything is and how to add/edit etc.

Host files I have seen have been as you say, only usually 127.0.0.1 hehe. You are saying normally they do not have www. only name.com? So my end product would be, under #User added section#

badplace.com
and not
http://www.badplace.com

I have seen an online tutorial that says this

Quote:5. Restrictions on the hosts file don't apply to the Prox URL Kill feature. Wildcards allow it to block ads without blocking an entire site and it can be used with IP numbers. Examples:

http://207.218.316.23/pic.jpg or http://www.someplace.com/xyz/pic.jpg

So that is why I am tryin this.

I will play with the url killfile today and get back with some more questions.

Exellent job on the overview by the way. And thank you for not going into how to add this syntax or that syntax for all the options the prox can do. I've been researching firewalls and blocklists for a week now, and what little coding I mess with has been expanded in many areas at once from technical posts. I am surprised I can still read english
