.\" Revised man page 10/13/01, for development version. .\" Hal Burgiss .\" for Junkbuster developers: ijbswa-developers@lists.sourceforge.net .\" .TH JUNKBUSTER 1 "v2.9.11 (beta) Date: 2002/03/06" .SH NAME \fBjunkbuster\fP - The Internet Junkbuster Proxy \s-2(TM)\s+2 .SH SYNOPSIS \fBjunkbuster\fP [--help] [--version] [--no-daemon] [--pidfile \fIpidfile\fP] [--user \fIuser\fP[.\fIgroup\fP]] \fI\&[configfile]\fP (Unix) .TP \fBjunkbstr.exe\fP \fI[configfile]\fP (Windows) .br .SH OPTIONS \fBJunkbuster\fP may be invoked with the following command-line options: .TP .BR --version " (unix only)" Print version info and exit. .TP .BR --help " (unix only)" Print a short usage info and exit. .TP .BR --no-daemon " (unix only)" Don't become a daemon, i.e. don't fork and become process group leader, don't detach from controlling tty, and do all logging there. .TP \fB --pidfile\fP \fIpidfile\fP (unix only) On startup, write the process ID to \fIpidfile\fP. Delete the \fIpidfile\fP on exit. Failiure to create or delete the \fIpidfile\fP is non-fatal. If no \fB--pidfile\fP option is given, no PID file will be used. .TP \fB --user\fP \fIuser\fP[.\fIgroup\fP] (unix only) After (optionally) writing the PID file, assume the user ID of \fIuser\fP and the GID of \fIgroup\fP, or, if the optional \fIgroup\fP was not given, the default group of \fIuser\fP. Exit if the privileges are not sufficient to do so. .PP If the \fIconfigfile\fP is not specified on the command line, \fBJunkbuster\fP will look for a file named \fBconfig\fP in the current directory (except on Win32 where it will try \fBconfig.txt\fP). .SH DESCRIPTION \fBJunkbuster\fP is an instrumentable HTTP proxy that filters the \s-2HTTP\s0 data stream between web servers and browsers. \fBJunkbuster\fP can be used to protect privacy, manage cookies, filter web page content, manage access restrictions, and to discard such annoying Internet junk as ads, banners, and pop-ups. Or whatever other annoyances strike your fancy. .SH INSTALLATION AND USE Browsers must be configured to use \fBJunkbuster\fP (the default is localhost, port 8118). To set the \s-2HTTP\s0 proxy in Netscape and Mozilla, go through: \fB\&Edit\fP; \fB\&Preferences\fP; \fB\&Advanced\fP; \fB\&Proxies\fP; \fB\&Manual Proxy Configuration\fP; \fB\&View\fP. .P For Internet Explorer, go through: \fB\&Tools\fP; \fB\&Internet Properties\fP; \fB\&Connections\fP; \fB\&LAN Settings\fP. .P Set the HTTP proxy location for localhost, port 8118. The Secure (SSL) Proxy\" ijbfaq.html#security should also be set to the same values, otherwise \fB\&https:\fP \s-2URL\s0s won't be proxied. .P For other browsers, check the documentation. .SH CONFIGURATION \fBJunkbuster\fP can be configured with the various configuration files. The default configuration files are: \fIconfig\fP, \fIijb.action\fP, and \fIre_filterfile\fP. These are well commented. On Unix and Unix-like systems, these are located in \fI/etc/junkbuster/\fP by default. On Windows, OS/2 and AmigaOS, these files are in the same directory as the \fBJunkbuster\fP executable. .P The name and number of configuration files has changed from previous versions, and is subject to change as development progresses. In fact, the configuration itself is changed and much more sophisticated. See the user-manual for a brief explanation of all configuration options. .P The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your web browser at \fIhttp://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/config\fP. \fBJunkbuster's\fP configuration parameters can also be viewed at the same page. In addition, \fBJunkbuster\fP can be toggled on/off. This is an internal page. .SH "SAMPLE CONFIGURATION" .PP A brief example of what an \fIijb.action\fP configuration might look like: .PP .nf # Define a few useful custom aliases for later use {{alias}} # Don't accept cookies +no-cookies = +no-cookies-set +no-cookies-read # Do accept cookies -no-cookies = -no-cookies-set -no-cookies-read +imageblock = +block +image ## Default Policies (actions) ############################ { \\ -block \\ -downgrade \\ +fast-redirects \\ +filter \\ +no-compression \\ +hide-forwarded \\ +hide-from{block} \\ +hide-referer{forge} \\ -hide-user-agent \\ -image \\ +image-blocker{blank} \\ +no-cookies-keep \\ -no-cookies-read \\ -no-cookies-set \\ +no-popups \\ -vanilla-wafer \\ -wafer \\ } / # Now set exceptions to the above defined policies ####### # Sites where we want persistant cookies {-no-cookies -no-cookies-keep} .redhat.com .sun.com .yahoo.com .msdn.microsoft.com # This site requires cookies AND 'fast-redirects' on {-no-cookies -no-cookies-keep -fast-redirects} .nytimes.com # Add custom headers, and turn off filtering of page source {+add-header{X-Privacy: Yes please} #-add-header{*} \\ +add-header{X-User-Tracking: No thanks!} -filter} privacy.net # Block, and treat these URLs as 'images'. {+imageblock} .adforce.imgis.com .ad.preferences.com/image.* .ads.web.aol.com .ad-adex3.flycast.com .ad.doubleclick.net .ln.doubleclick.net .ad.de.doubleclick.net /.*/count\\.cgi\\?.*df= 194.221.183.22[1-7] a196.g.akamai.net/7/196/2670/000[12]/images.gmx.net/i4/images/.*/ # Block any URLs that match these patterns {+block} /.*/(.*[-_.])?ads?[0-9]?(/|[-_.].*|\\.(gif|jpe?g)) /.*/(plain|live|rotate)[-_.]?ads?/ /.*/(sponsor)s?[0-9]?/ /.*/ad(server|stream|juggler)\\.(cgi|pl|dll|exe) /.*/adbanners/ /.*/adv((er)?ts?|ertis(ing|ements?))?/ /.*/banners?/ /.*/popupads/ /.*/advert[0-9]+\\.jpg /ad_images/ /.*/ads/ /images/.*/.*_anim\\.gif /rotations/ /.*(ms)?backoff(ice)?.*\\.(gif|jpe?g) 195.63.104.*/(inbox|log|meld|folderlu|folderru|log(in|out)[lmr]u|) .images.nytimes.com .images.yahoo.com/adv/ /.*cnnstore\\.gif .fi .sp .PP See the comments in the configuration files themselves, or the user-manual for explanations of the above syntax, and other \fBJunkbuster\fP configuration options. .SH "FILES" \fI/usr/sbin/junkbuster\fP .br \fI/etc/junkbuster/config\fP .br \fI/etc/junkbuster/ijb.action\fP .br \fI/etc/junkbuster/ijb-advanced.action\fP .br \fI/etc/junkbuster/ijb-basic.action\fP .br \fI/etc/junkbuster/ijb-intermediate.action\fP .br \fI/etc/junkbuster/re_filterfile\fP .br \fI/etc/junkbuster/trust\fP .br \fI/etc/junkbuster/templates/*\fP .br \fI/var/log/junkbuster/logfile\fP .P Various other files should be included, but may vary depending on platform and build configuration. More documentation should be included in the local documentation directory, though is not complete at this time. .SH SIGNALS \fBJunkbuster\fP teriminates on the \fBSIGINT\fP, \fBSIGTERM\fP and \fBSIGABRT\fP signals. Log rotation scripts may cause a re-opening of the logfile by sending a \fBSIGHUP\fP to \fBJunkbuster\fP. Note that unlike other daemons, \fBJunkbuster\fP does not need to be made aware of config file changes by \fBSIGHUP\fP -- it will detect them automatically. .SH NOTES This is a \fBBETA\fP version of \fBJunkbuster\fP. Not all features are complete. .br Please see the user-maual on how to contact the developers for feature requests, reporting problems, and other questions. .SH BUGS Probably. Please see the user-manual for how and where to report bugs. .SH SEE ALSO .br http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/config .br http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/ .br http://sourceforge.net/projects/ijbswa .br http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster/\" waldherr.org# .br http://www.junkbusters.com/ht/en/cookies.html\" cookies.html# .br http://privacy.net/analyze/ .br http://www.squid-cache.org/ .br http://linuxalpha.ch/packages/ .SH DEVELOPMENT TEAM .br Stefan Waldherr .br Andreas Oesterhelt .br Jon Foster .br Markus Breitenbach .br Thomas Steudten .br David Schmidt .br Haroon Rafique .br Joerg Strohmayer .br Shamim Mohamed .br Sarantis Paskalis .br Gabriel L.
