Just as a side point. I tried to get this configuration working:

<user>-<ijb>-<squid>-<internet>

I use Squid authentication but IJB didn't seem to be able to handle it i.e.
the user would not be prompted for a name and password. When I tried this
instead:

<user>-<squid>-<igb>-<internet>

I did get the authentication requests, as you would expect, but some error
messages were then replaced with an IJB message such as 'domain does not
exist'. I prefer (and need) the Squid error messages to be shown.

Comments?

Mart.

Hi,

junkbusters is another proxy, which could be put in chain with squid as
parent or child. It depends on which users do you want to protect from
watching banners and other annoying stuff.
 I think in general you shoult put jb between the users and the proxy at
firewall.
 If you want to protect all your squid users from watching ads - you should
put it between your cache and proxy at firewall - this would also prevent
your squid from caching that stuff and spending resources for it.
 If you want jb only for private use, you should put it between clients and
cache - any client could then choose to watch ads or not.

Regards,
Maciej
