Description
Yet Another Filter Proxy
Yet Another Filter Proxy is a handy tool that helps keep your browsing experience smooth and safe. It’s like having a bouncer for the internet, filtering out those annoying ads and harmful scripts that pop up when you’re just trying to read something online.
What Does It Do?
This proxy is designed to block advertising banners and malicious content from websites. It’s built using Perl, which means it's efficient and pretty reliable. The project is based on an example by Randal L. Schwartz, making it a solid choice if you want to avoid distractions while browsing.
How It Works
The cool part about Yet Another Filter Proxy is its use of preforking. This means it creates several processes to handle requests, similar to how Apache works. This setup helps improve performance, so you don’t have to deal with slow loading times.
Blocking Features
Unlike some other proxies out there, like Junkbuster, this one uses Perl regular expressions to check site content. This allows it not only to block typical ads but also pesky JavaScript and annoying popups that can ruin your browsing fun!
Getting Started
If you're interested in diving deeper into how it all works, just run 'perldoc yafp.pl'. That will give you the full rundown!
Requirements:
- PERL
What's New?
- A fixed URL-checking bug (the trusted.conf and cookies.conf issues are sorted out!)
- Addition of syslog support!
- You now have the option for socket locking (which might only be necessary on certain operating systems like Solaris).
