The port number that I needed to know is 3128. I discovered this by doing a port scan on the host on which I had installed adzapper. I entered that number into the port field in iceweasel advanced preferences and adzapping started working. Who said Debian isn't user friendly? ;-) 3128 is a fine, well formed, number. I have no need to change it so the other part of the question is moot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
