Ad Muncher does not block if using a proxy script

[pjwilkin]

If you have an "Autoconfiguration file" supplied (either by directly naming it, or via DHCP/Auto detect), then Admuncher does not block ads

A simple script like:

Code: Select all

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
        return "PROXY myproxy.mydomain:8080";
}


Will stop admunchers ability to filter

I have to use a script at home, because of a number of different devices and URL's, and force them through my local proxy if appropriate. However admuncher does not like the proxy scripts and does not filter. Removing all proxy settings shows admuncher working, similarly, if I name a specific proxy in IE or Firefox, rather than use the script, Admuncher works.

I really hope this issue can be fixed by having admuncher support proxy scripts, as it'd be a real shame to loose the usefulness of autoconfiguration

UPDATE
======
I run IPv6 , disabling it enables the proxy script to be visible and actioned by Ad Muncher

I therefore believe the issue is Ad Muncher and IPv6 ... I do not believe Ad Muncher supports IPv6

Given IPv6 is supposedly the future , I hope Admuncher will be fixed soon

UPDATE 2
=========
I've just tested the Beta, v4.93 Beta Build 33116/4037, and it also fails

I just hope they put IPv6 support in soon

Heck, we're still waiting for HTTP 1.1. Take a number.

[pjwilkin]

Yup, I've taken a number ... FE80:......

Well spotted pjwilkin Indeed the current engine struggles on IPv6. We have code we are currently testing to correct this for the release after v4.93, as v4.93 is about to go final.

I'll ensure this is available ASAP, my apologies for the inconvenience in the mean time.

I've found IPV6 enabled to be slower overall, at least with Firefox. So, I disable it.
network.dns.disableIPv6 True

[pjwilkin]

I have IPv6 enabled, and on my link (testing FTP's from my ISP), there is not much difference between IPv4 and IPv6 ... and yes My ISP supports IPv6

I am loathed to disable IPv6 (even though I dont really need it at the moment)

Everyone struggles with IPv6

It looks like I'll be an early beta tester of v4.94 then

Is there any update on when IPv6 will be supported ?

The proxy script does work ... with IPv4 only.

Admuncher (in its current form) does not support IPv6, as such, if you have IPv6 enabled, Admuncher stops working

[Jeff]

v5.x should handle it with ease.

v5.x should handle it with ease.

news about the 5.X ? when will it release ?

[Jeff]

When it's ready.

we are making progress every day.

Add me to the list of users ready and willing to try it out. I've just enabled IPv6 (after the usual struggle as one expects with IT) and I don't want to have to turn it off. So far most of my sites aren't using it anyway but one technical site is :-/
