What is the proxy address of the Internet Junkbuster?
If you set up the Internet Junkbuster to run on the computer you browse from (rather than your ISP’s server or some networked computer at work), the proxy will be on localhost (which is the special name used by every computer on the Internet to refer to itself) and the port will be 8000 (unless you have told the Internet Junkbuster to run on a different port with the listen-address option). So when configuring your browser’s proxy settings you typically enter the word localhost in the two boxes next to HTTP and Secure, and the number 8000 in the two boxes labeled to the right of those boxes. The Internet Junkbuster does not currently handle other protocols such as Gopher, FTP, or WAIS, so leave those setting unchanged. Nor does it handle ICQ or Instant Messenger services. If your ISP or company is running the Internet Junkbuster for you, they will tell you the address to use. It will be the name of the computer it’s running on (or possibly its numeric IP address), plus a port number. P
If your ISP or company is running the Internet Junkbuster for you, they will tell you the address to use. It will be the name of the computer it’s running on (or possibly its numeric IP address), plus a port number. Port 8000 is the default, so assume this number if it is not unspecified. Sometimes a colon is used to glue them together, as in junkbuster.pro-privacy-isp.net:8000 but with most browsers you do not type the colon, you enter the address and port number separately. If you are running the Internet Junkbuster on your computer, the machine will probably be localhost and the port will be 8000 unless you have told the Internet Junkbuster to run on a different port with the listen-address option.
