New computer toy

I signed up on Kickstarter for the AdTrap device. It got funded at about 40% above goal. The box arrived Sat.

It supports 2 setups. Between modem and router or just plugged into router which is what I used with the Verizon FIOS ActionTec. Had a small problem with software setup but my support email was answered in about 30 mins. On Saturday! Basically it sets itself as a proxy and modifies the proxy setting in IE. Manually set the proxy settings on the iPad to match the PC and it is covered, also.

I can't believe how many ad servers are referenced by the CNN home page! Blocked! That ad on the top of the Drudge Report page? Gone!

BTW, made in America.

Have you heard of adblock?

Have you heard of adblock?

I believe that is software and integrates to your browser. This is hardware and prevents the ad from getting into your LAN. I found this blocks ads in the iPad TMZ app, also.

The ads add pizzaz, it's gonna be real boring like an old monochrome.

When I was working I have had ads on an Excel help site trigger the corporate anti-virus software. To me the more extraneous links one can kill the better.

Amen brother! More than half our business now is bug removal. I may pick one of those up to try out. Thanks.
