Re: Ad Filtering Programs keep Ports open Zhen, not being an expert on Proxo, I don't really know the answer, but did you see this: said by wayaunega:
most filtering software works along the same premise as using a host file in that it detects ads by what ever means and diverts it to a localhost address
Is that correct for Proxomitron? How does it 'do it's thing'? I don't think it is diverting any addresses, instead, my take on it is that it is actually re-writing the packets to eliminate unwanted commands. Is this interpretation correct? |

Bordentown, NJ | R2, Proxo filters the actual web page itself. It searches for specific instances of code in the page and kicking it or replacing it before rendering the HTML in your browser. Hence, IPs and URLs are no longer required to filter. Proxo looks at the code, finds the privacy seeking information it is told to find, and kicks it. Very nice.
