BFilter: About BFilter is a filtering web proxy. It was originally intended for removing banner ads only, but since then its capabilities have been greatly extended. Unlike most of the similar tools, it doesn't rely on blacklists (although it does support them). The problem with blacklists is that advertisers are always one step ahead. You see an ad slip through, you update your blacklist, and in case it didn't help, you add a new entry yourself. Once I got tired of that, I decided to write a proxy that would detect ads heuristically, much like modern anti-virus software manages to detect many viruses unknown to it. in Public bookmarkswith bannerbfilterfilteringintendedoriginallyproxyremovingweb

Proxy auto-config - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The proxy auto-config file defines how web browsers and other user agents can automatically choose the appropriate proxy server (access method) for fetching a given URL.A PAC file contains a JavaScript function "FindProxyForURL(url, host)". This function returns a string with one or more access method specifications. These specifications cause the user agent to use a particular proxy server or to connect directly.Multiple specifications provide a fallback when a proxy fails to respond. The browser fetches this PAC file before retrieving other pages. The URL of the PAC file is either configured manually or determined automatically by the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol. in bypass proxy server local addressenwith addressenauto-configbypassdefinesfilelocalproxyserver
