My, the speed! Proxomitron is fantastic.

Only slight problems:

1) My uni server has a list of proxies to automatically use which I'm supposed to pick up. Can't use it anymore.

I can only speak for WebFree, but the software should only be interested in the addresses of the ad providers. You should be able to configure to deal only with those addresses.

Would the ad-blocking software work if your ISP requires that you use their proxy server?

[finbar]

Shouldn't be a problem, I'd've thought. The software is a stopper between your computer and your server as far as I know.

It is possible to tell the Proxomitron to connect to a proxy server, or to give it a list of proxy servers it can choose from. I don't expect that the list changes very often, so simply entering the server addresses into the Proxomitron shouldn't cause any problems.

Any ideas? Lews Therin?

I'm still working on this one myself. The only icon I usually lose is the "Send Private Message" one.

Mine did. (Until my [crappy] ISP decided to get rid of the proxy)

No, in Australia we don't live with kangaroos and koalas in our backyards... Despite any stupid advertisments you may see to the contrary...

Ultra:
are you saying that it worked when the ISP used the proxy or that it worked after it got rid of the proxy?

It's the law here that all internet users have to make use of proxies...so if its the latter, then I may not be able to use this...

[UltraSonix]

Sorry Phoenix, that came out lousy. What I'm saying is that the ad-block software (Norton Internet Security 2000) works both with AND without the proxy. And far as I can tell, the program works independently of the browser (hence it doesn't matter about the proxy), and hooks into the browsers and alters the sour code of any page being displayed so that any external ads are edited out.

And I didn't know Singapore and still so totalitarian (bloody chewing gum!)

Which would be fine if I knew how to read which proxies were listed - all I've been given is the address of a .pac file. Anyone know if these are at all readable, or amy I going to have to request a list from the IT guys?

[Lews Therìn]

Try opening the file -- this is by far the fastest way of finding out if you can read it or not.

Already have done. While it is vaguely in English, the formatting is all over the place and I can't work out exactly what it says.
