HAMMER = BAN ! :-) RE: Tcp port 7 spam from Doubleclick

["Eric Toll" <etoll () syracusesupply com>]

Life without ads... is what?  

I think its great.   I denied all traffic from ad.doubleclick.net  (hehe)
(and recommed all of you do the same, if they won't stop the port 7 scanning)
I use Novell Bordermanager, (with bsdi gauntlet) and get a nice little
Novell banner where the double click ad is suppose to load.  Looks and works fine.
Also doubleclick is non-business related information, so It keeps people from going away from
where they indended to go.

yep, getting the same crap on my servers and doubleclick wont stop when
asked, i like your idea and im now going to try it, btw if enough people are
going to do this then it may be worth informing doubleclick (but then again
life without ads...)

yep im enjoying it already, i get a nice proxy access denied message which
im going to change to something a bit more entertaining...now theres an idea
how about selling that space for adverts to the users, oops, got a bit
carried away there

btw i told doubleclick and they offered to place my firewall in their
exception list, bless.

if uve got the time, whats the novell like? ive moved almost entirely to nt
from novell but i keep a few servers going just to keep my hand in, was
thinking of looking @ border


cheers
