So this is a bridge-mode transparent HTTP proxy with Privoxy running on it? [Or the equivalent thereof?]
Or does it do an SSL MITM attack on all your traffic?
The former is interesting mostly because it doesn't require end-user configuration, so to a naive user it really is plug-it-in-and-works. The latter is, as several have now pointed out, horrendously awful.
What nobody seems to have mentioned yet, though, is that you can turn the first into the second with a code update.
I think all it does is to block/poison ad-based domain from resolving to their respective IPs. Very low overhead and gives you the same result. You can also achieve the same thing if you have a dd-wrt installed router: http://www.howtogeek.com/51477/how-to-remove-advertisements-...
