Junkbuster will only make requests for URLs that aren't blocked, so wwwoffled will never see a request for Junkbuster-blocked URLs. If wwwoffled requests from junkbuster, then all the Junkbuster This URL is blocked messages will be cached by wwwoffled... -- finger for GPG public key. pgpe8SPJ7TBmK.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: I cannot get JunkBuster to work
** Reply to note from kmself@ix.netcom.com Sat, 15 Jul 2000 10:54:02 -0700 Generally speaking, you filter through Junkbuster first, then point it to your caching proxy. I chain Junkbuster to squid. To do this, point your *browser* to the Junkbuster proxy (port 5865 by default), and forward Junkbuster to woffle with the appropriate forward entry: ## Use the Woffle proxy *localhost:8080 . . # implicit That is _exactly_ what I needed. Thank you very much. I now have them working together nicely both on and off line. You also need to specify some sites to block. What's really nice with Junkbuster is that you can use regular expressions to cover a lot of ground. I am now using the sample list supplied with the Junkbuster documentation. Seems to work well. Thanks again. Barry Samuels
I cannot get JunkBuster to work
I have JunkBuster installed on Potato and it is running as a daemon but it won't filter anything. I also have Woffle running on port 8080 and that is specified as the proxy server in Netscape. I understand that to get JunkBuster to work as well I need to make appropriate entries in the JunkBuster forward file. I havn't specified a specific listening address and I don't understand a word of the instructions for the forward file. The examples given don't seem appropriate to my case. I have tried a number of different entries in the forward file but none of them have produced the required result. Could someone please explain what I need to do. Barry Samuels

If I change the port number from 8080 in netscape to 8000 then junkbuster does work but, of course, wwwoffle doesn't. I realise that the web pages are going to have to either be cached by wwwoffle and passed through junkbuster to netscape or processed first by junkbuster then passed on to wwwoffle for caching and thence to netscape. My level of understanding of this particular process is that if I put 'localhost' in one box and '8080' in another then wwwoffle caches my web pages for me. I would like to continue using woffle and to use junkbuster in addition but the instructions are going to have to be of the 'put this here' and 'put that there' type I'm afraid. Thanks for the reply.

In /etc/junkbuster/forwardfile make sure you have something like this at the very end: * your.host:8080. . This line says forward all requests to your.host port 8080 after junkbuster is done with them. Then make sure you have the forwardfile option correctly specified in /etc/junkbuster/config. Point your browser at the junkbuster port (8000 I presume). Frank
