Filter for anchorfree.us redirect?

[GiselleDevereux]

I use Hotspot Shield to access sites that are region restricted in my country. Adblock Plus blocks Hotspot Shield ads. How do I get it to block anchorfree.us URL redirects? (e.g. http://anchorfree.us/d/bw/?v=5)

I use

Code: Select all

||anchorfree.us^
||*.anchorfree.*
||anchorfree.us*
||anchorfree.*

So far, I cannot get it to block URL redirects.

Thanks.

The one that could possibly work is the first one: ||anchorfree.us^
The other ones are over-broad.

Still, ABP doesn't block the main document (the URL in the URL bar, or the URL you navigate to when clicking a link), and even if it did, that would mean you would be completely blocked, rather than redirected, when you clicked those re-written links.

Someone should figure out whether Hotspot Shield uses any sort of client-side scripting to make those re-directed URLs, because if it does, that script can actually be blocked.

Mmm... sounds interesting. I wonder if it does.
