I am toying with the awesome idea of killing banner ad companies at my
firewall, It works.. (quite nicely) but it also seems to slow web surfing
down alot..
the line in the firewall is :
# REJECT packets on ppp0 which are from advert sites.
/sbin/ipchains -A output -i ppp0 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 204.176.36.72 -j DENY
I have also tried :
# REJECT packets on ppp0 which are from advert sites.
/sbin/ipchains -A output -i ppp0 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 204.176.36.72 -j REJECT
Both have the same effect as far as I can tell, the problem seems to be that
the first 5-8 seconds that the server tries to access a site that asks for
204.176.36.72 it just sits there and does nothing, even a tcpdump -ai ppp0
|grep DENY doesn't seem to bring anything up.
After the initial pause it is quite happy to browse the rest of the page..
Any ideas on how to tweak the pause out of it?
thanks again guys..
