The FAQ for wwwoffle says that it has the ability `to control access to WWWOFFLE using the HTTP/1.1 Proxy Authentication method' so this might tempt you to investigate whether it suits your system. Being a Debian package and free software are also added incentives. Comparing the configuration file for junkbuster with wwwoffle.conf there seems little signifcant difference between the functionality of both programs when used to block adverts. Both use a block file, can hide blocked images, manage cookies, control acces to the proxy server and allow some of the headers sent to be altered. One of the differences is that junkbuster can send `wafers' but I am not sure this is a feature of great importance. So maybe perfection is within your grasp! Brian.
