+# The '#' indicates a comment. Any part of a line following a '#' is
+# ignored, except if the '#' is preceded by a '\'.
#
# Thus, by placing a # at the start of an existing configuration line,
# you can make it a comment and it will be treated as if it weren't there.
# off features: If you comment out the "logfile" line, junkbuster will
# not log at all. Watch for the "default:" section in each explanation
# to see what happens if the option is left unset (or commented out).
+#
+# Long lines can be continued on the next line by using a `\' as
+# the last character. This also works if comments are present in
+# between.

# As an example of the last option:
#
-# tinygif 3 http://www.junkbusters.com/images/fb.gif
+# tinygif 3 http://no.where/ijb-send-banner.gif
#
-# Will replace every blocked image with the "fb.gif" image.
+# Will replace every blocked image with an image built into junkbuster.
#
# There is one non-obvious benefit to using option "3". If you use
# option 3, your Web browser will likely cache the image you specify

+# Many sites, like yahoo.com, don't just link to other sites.
+# Instead, they will link to some script on their own server,
+# giving the destination as a parameter, which will then redirect
+# you to the final target.
+#
+# URLs resulting from this scheme typically look like:
+# http://some.place/some_script?http://some.where-else
+#
+# Sometimes, there are even multiple consecutive redirects encoded
+# in the URL. These redirections via scripts make your web browing
+# more traceable, since the server from which you follow such a link
+# can see where you go to. Apart from that, valuable bandwidth and
+# time is wasted, while your browser aks the server for one redirect
+# after the other. Plus, it feeds the advertisers.
+#
+# The fast-redirects option enables interception of these requests
+# by junkbuster, who will cut off all but the last valid URL in the
+# request and send a local redirect back to your browser without
+# contacting the remote site.
+#
+# Default: Don't intercept script-redirect URLs

# The debug option sets the level of debugging information to log in
# the logfile (and to the console in the Windows version). A debug
# debug 16 # LOG = log all data into the logfile
# debug 32 # FRC = debug force feature
# debug 64 # REF = debug regular expression filter
+# debug 128 # RED = debug fast redirects
#
# Multiple "debug" directives, are OK - they're logical-OR'd
# together.
