I LIKE no love this thing… Just a word of warning I’m a geek/nerd/dork. I’m NOT a newbie to computers or networking… I’m a skilled linux user and an advaced MS user.. So I kinda know my stuff…
For those who love editing line by line of configuration files… yippy for you… for me I just don’t have the time… NOT AT ALL… Privoxy is GREAT I got things working RIGHT AWAY.. no mysterious tracking it in the log files and munging with filter files.. It has a point and click interface… If I want to see what happens to a url I can see what rules are applied… YEAH…
No guessing or working with Webmin to get it running… It JUST WORKS…. Now am I then end all and be all? Nope! I do like the ad zapper graphics… the checkerboard doesn’t do it for me…
So after weeks over the past 2 years of fightinig with SquidGuard and AdZapper.. I’m now working with Privoxy and happy as a pig in mud…
Privoxy - Home Page
Privoxy and Cpanel PLAY NICE NOW!
I recently added Privoxy to my network. It’s MUCH easier to manage than Squid/SquidGuard or AdZapper. Yes I get off on point and click. HOWEVER Cpanel STOPPED working altogether. I’d goto the admin screen and it would be BLANK. So in reading through the forums. Well privoxy doesn’t have forums they do all their discussion in bug tracking. I found 2 things. First Cpanel needed
+downgrade-http-version
But I STILL got a blank screen.
So I then added
+limit-connect{443,2087,2083}
The last 2 ports are the SSL connections to cpanel. I use them just to make people feel a little safer.
BTW I still have squid running so my network has the following
Privoxy->Squid/Adzapper->Internet
OR for the kids
Dansguardian->Squid/AdZapper->Internet
I MAY be moving DansGuardian before Privoxy.
The GREAT thing about this is I can attach at any point in the chain and get various features.
Internet for RAW UNADULTERATED FUN
Squid/AdZapper for less adds and a cache
FINALLY Privoxy for EVEN LESS Ads and the caching of squid.
And for those who ask. Yes it’s faster…
The Internet, the future is filtered!
I just finished quickly putting up a blog for It’s Papa’s Place. I used a theme and then modified it… (yes I gave credit where it was due). At least now we’ve got something there… I’ll be putting up specials and the like
My youngest daughter is being picked on at school. And while we’ve taught her to not hit back(which she’s done). I want to tell her to stand up for herself a little more agressivly. But the kid has been suspended from school (ok daycare) for 3 days. He’s just a problem child. My wife wrote a letter saying that we want to help resolve this for our daughter’s sake and their son’s sake. We’ll see what happens…
The benefits of knowing way to much about to many things
Got a call from my wife’s landlord (the one for the resturant) since I fixed the electrical in the resturant he asked that I take a look at his place. There’s some lights out. YEAH! While I enjoy the compliment it’s another thing on my plate. I can’t say no cause he’s been really great to us. I just hope it’s simple.
Various office pranks. VERY FUNNY…. Remindes me of the time I was called to a secretary’s desk and when her monitor didn’t work… I brought a replacement. I went through the standard power cords, switches, connections and brightness contrast… I then removed the glare guard and a piece of black paper fell out…
Tech Prank: Microsoft Word Voodoo Curse
Watched CSI tonight (yeah part of Thursday’s routine) not a bad episode but not that great… I’m thinking about another 2 seasons and then the market won’t take it anymore….
Yes I’m a junkie… but this seems to be the best tasting (not as much tang as the others) plus fruit juice… (More than some popular juices)
