Transparent Proxy as Adblock using Tinyproxy and Dansguardian

As I mentioned in my last post about the migration from Gentoo to Kubuntu I’ll write about how to setup iptables, Tinyproxy and Dansguardian as an Adblocker. That said the setup might be better using Squid instead of Tinyproxy. Why not having a caching transparent proxy around? I don’t do that because I installed all of that on my Notebook and caching there wouldn’t make much sense as the applications cache anyway (per default).

Migration from lovely Gentoo to feisty Kubuntu

A few weeks ago I decided to migrate my Notebook from Gentoo to Kubuntu.

Now why would anyone want to do that? Well, as I use Kubuntu in the office I realized that its easier to handle for my partner Britta, with all those GUI settings and popups if you attach something (mp3 player, …) etc.
