  • eDexter
  • License: Freeware
  • Price: 0.00

The eDexter application was designed to be a program that acts as a local-only (it is not accessible throught the Internet) HTTP server on your computer. It is used to replace the empty boxes that occur when you use the Hosts file to block ads. eDexter will put one of its own images into the box that would have been occupied by the advertisement. This way, you will not have large, empty boxes in your browser and will instead have an image where the box used to be.

The site you have blocked in your Hosts file will still not be contacted at all, and so your web browsing can not be monitored by that site in any way as they won't even know your IP address because the Hosts file has blocked it. The replacement images will load completely off your hard drive and not from an external site, so eDexter is completely self-contained on...

eDexter's JavaDog version is an open source edition of the terrific eDexter program. If you have been unable to run eDexter because you don't use Windows, then this is the program for you!

eDexterJavaDog is a minimal web server restricted to the localhost. When eDexterJavaDog gets a request it sends a transparent GIF image to the browser.

If you run an OS other than Windows, you may have been wanting to run eDexter. Well, now is your chance! The JavaDog will run under any OS that can run Java code. This means that Mac and Linux users of the Hosts file will now have their own version of eDexter to go with it. If you run Windows, you will want to stick with the Windows version of eDexter.

The JavaDog is a less complex version of the Windows program, and is meant for non-Windows users. It does run under...

What is DNSKong?

DNSKong is a personal caching-only psuedoDNS server. DNSKong only serves the localhost. No machine from the outside world will be able to use your DNSKong.

It uses the file, named.txt as rules for matching DNS queries to the local IP address, 127.0.0.1. The rule heuristic for this version is first "complete-dotted-octet" match.

For example, if named.txt contained the line: com
then all names containing com between any dots in the name would match to 127.0.0.1. This would include www.anything.com, com.com.com, or ads.hereorthere.com. Using com as a line in the filter will block any .com site.

DNSKong uses the file, pass.txt, as exceptions to the rules in named.txt. The rule heuristic for this version is first "complete-dotted-octet" match.

For example, if...

What is the Hosts file, and how does it stop ads and tracking?

The "Hosts" file in Windows and other operating systems is used to associate host names with IP addresses. Host names are the www.yahoo.com addresses that you see every day. IP addresses are numbers that mean the same thing as the www words - the computers use the numbers to actually find the sites, but we have words like www.yahoo.com so humans do not need to remember the long strings of numbers when they want to visit a site.

For instance, the host name for Yahoo! is www.yahoo.com, while its IP address is 204.71.200.67 Either address will take you to Yahoo!'s site, but the www address will first have to be translated into the IP address. If you type in the IP address directly, your computer will not have to look it up.

A series of steps...
