Hey all!
I've been super busy the past year or more, but now its time for a proxy revolution, if you want it.
If you want to see a complete recoding of bblocked with more features, better performance, and better support for sites, leave some feedback on what you like about bblocked and what you would like to see in the possible upcoming bblocked 6.0 release.
Hey :)
I really love bblocked. About the following features I would be very happy:
* adblock (compare each received content with a blacklist)
* fading out the header frame via click via ajax (so you can view the page like without bblocked)
Big THX to you for all the work :)
Greetings
Hmm thanks m87!
I've been considering blacklist filters used by the adblock extension for Firefox, I think its a good idea and we'll try hard to implement it well.
And I can't say much for the fading banner, but I can say that I will be cracking the whip over Sam (he does all the themes and such) I really want some good AJAX functionality. So I'm right there with you.
Also, I'd like to eliminate the frames, but at the moment there isn't any other way to get the bblocked URL bar to scroll with the page (other than JavaScript, which would suck). Anyways, I'm not fond of framesets but at the moment its the only way to work it. Sorry that was a bit of a personal issue of mine and the bad support of CSS on IE's side.
Thanks for the feature requests, we will defiantly keep them in mind.
Hi
i really like bblocked and using for all block sites in UAE. Features which im looking for first youtube or other videos sites video working, second user login while using bblocked and file downloading like zip,exe easy from some cracking sites.even you site is also block here and i can not put my question in forum. here im using some other proxy to put question.
Hey zerocool,
Thanks for the reply. We are being very mindful of bblocked to better support more advanced sites like YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, etc. We have also been working on getting bblocked to handle page headers better so that files that are supposed to be downloaded, get downloaded.
I'm going to ask Sam to add a page where we can show the status of each of the core features of the new bblocked development. There has been a lot coded so far, and there is still a lot to do.
Yeah I would love to see Youtube/login support for the proxy. I think 5.6 is a great peice of software but it lacks when It comes to formating more advanced websites.
I am currently in school and bblocked.org is blocked so I am usign a proxy at gtfo.in
Its a good example of a great proxy hope it helps!
Hey I would love to see Youtube and other video sites as well as advanced sites like facbook. Login support would also be great. I currently am at school and can't log in to do a forum post so Im using the proxy site:
gtfo.in
Hope that site gives you guys some good ideas.
Hi,
I should appreciate working gmail and may be web icq, or
t
So better support for ajax stuff maybe.
i check the searching from any site using bblocked after finding search result it agian open another bblocked frame inside existing bblocked frame. please can you figure that one also. if you need any help regarding testing im always here for you coz im using bblocked frequently. and waiting for new and improved version.
Any comments, any progress updates? You havn't given us any news on where you guys are.
Sorry, lots of other stuff going on, like job searching... thank you economy.
A few updates for you guys.
First, its important to know that with every major version we start over. This keeps our code cleaner and more efficient than other software. To make something better, we believe you have to start over with new goals in mind.
The current goals are:
-More modular design: bblocked is going to be moving toward a more plugin friendly format, as well as becoming a solid base to build your own proxies.
-Better support: we will be working very hard on JavaScript support, especially the kinds JavaScript that have crippled bblocked's ability to reformat pages correctly.
-Administrative panel: settings will be controlled by an admin panel or via an XML document instead of the current PHP based solution.
-Better performance: as always we will be seeking better performance in memory usage and CPU time. We are also continuing our ideal that bblocked should require the most minimal software installed on the server.
That being said, our current status is as follows.
I have completed most of the session, cookie, and proxy (HTTP/HTTPS only) backend coding. We still need to work on the new template system, new templates, admin panel; however, the bulk of the work to be done is the page regeneration class.
I cannot say for certain when bblocked-6.0 will be ready, but I will say that I can't work too much on it until I find a job to support myself and am able to get a few things in order.
Also, if you'd like to try out the nightly builds (which we'd love to hear about your joy or struggles with the new version), we have been trying to get a public SVN setup. However we recently switched to a new host that doesn't allow anonymous SVN access, which we are trying to get around. We will keep you guys posted on the status of SVN.
Anything on that public SVN, and any other updates would be appreciated!
Hey mattc908, sorry this reply is so late. The combination of work and school has left our group in a traffic jam. We all work on other (frankly more important) projects, and time is hard to find.
SVN:
Our new server doesn't currently support SVN in any meaningful way for us to allow public SVN checkouts, however I may soon (within a few months) have access to use an SVN server hosted by a friend that will allow us to provide public SVN access.
bblocked-6.0:
I have hit a snag. I am trying to find an easy way to use PHP's DomDocument class on standard HTML, however it hasn't been going well. Most of the other classes are finished or nearly finished. Also, none of the front-end code has been started (beaver6813's responsibility).
