Re: I would like to disallow popups with iptables how can I accomplish that?

[Mike Ely <mike.ely@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use Mozilla, Safari, Konqueror, Galeon, or Opera instead of Internet 
Explorer :)

AFAIK, there's no good way to block popup ads using iptables.  You can 
make a blacklist and manually add each pop-up company to it using -s 
l33t.popupz.adserver.com -j DROP or something, but that seems pretty 
cumbersome, and you will still have the windows opening - just nothing 
will fill them.

Alternatively, you can use a filtering proxy such as squidGuard, but 
again you will still have the windows opening.  You're better off just 
using a browser whose developers aren't as hamstrung by marketing 
departments as IEs.
