Blocking ip's...

geriatric;

You've got it down pat - good job!

But, there are a couple of things we've all neglected to tell you so far. Just checking to see if you were awake, as it were. Ahem.....

ONE: A list can only do you some good if it's actually used by at least one filter. Proxo doesn't use a list by itself per se, the list has to be "included" within the filter, usually within either the Match or the URL sections.

There are several examples in the default configuration, and no doubt you can find them easily enough. The first one that I found in my setup is the Banner Blaster. Take a peek at the $LST() construct in the Match section. You can find others that use that same construct in the URL section, too. Kill All Images comes to mind.

TWO: Don't forget to make sure that you've configured Proxo to use the name you put in the parenthesis. That's done in Proxo's Config screen, on the fourth tab over, called appropriately enough, Blockfile. What you're doing here is telling Proxo you want to use a shortcut name for a given filename on your harddrive. Said shortcut can be short and sweet, or as long as you need it to be in order to make sense to you. And the text file's name doesn't have to have a .txt extension, but it does have to be straight ASCII, no formatting allowed.

OK, school's out for the duration. See ya next quarter! [lol]
