+2.2.4. What are the differences between ijb-intermediate.action,

+ configuration.

+2.2.5. Why can I change the configuration with a browser? Does that not
raise security issues?
What I don't understand, is how I can browser edit the config file as
developers, RPM gurus or documentation makers. Simply get an account
on sourceforge.net and mail your id to the developer mailing list.
Once we have added you to the team, you'll have write access to the
- CVS repository, and we'll find a suitable task for you together.

2.3.6. Do you still maintain the blocklists?
2.3.8. How can I hide my IP address?
- You cannot hide your IP address with Junkbuster.
+ You cannot hide your IP address with Junkbuster or any other software,
+ since the server needs to know your IP address to send the answer to
+ you.
+
+ Fortunately there are many publicly usable anonymous proxies out
+ there, which solve the problem by providing a further level of
+ indirection between you and the web server, shared by many people and
+ thus letting your requests "drown" in white noise of unrelated
+ requests as far as user tracking is concerned.
+
+ Most of them will, however, log your IP address and make it available
+ to the authorities in case you abuse that anonymity for criminal
+ purposes. In fact you can't even rule out that some of them only exist
+ to *collect* information on (those suspicious) people with a more than
+ average preference for privacy.
+
+ You can find a list of anonymous public proxies at [24]multiproxy.org
+ and many more through Google.

-2.3.9. What is the imagefile (simage.ini, etc.) for?
+3. Known Issues
- Anytime the Junkbuster determines (with the help of the blocklist)
- that a URL contains an advertisement, it has to decide whether this
- advertisement is an image or not. The Junkbuster uses the imagefile
- for that purpose.
