I just installed it and came back to ATS without any issue. I am using Chrome. I would suspect that at some point though one of the advertisements is going to get blocked.

I just tried it.

If I have the Advertising list active then the site takes a long time to come up, but it still all works

Edit to add

Heres what mine looks like when I load this page with it on

I assume this should be in the Board business / Questions forum

I have been on ATS for a while, rarely post. I got peer block a week ago and noticed that every time I come to ATS, I get hit with these 3.

TWC-CENTRAL-TEXAS-DIVISION---RIVERSIDE-HUB---KORCETT
TWC-CENTRAL-TEXAS-DIVISION---GUAD-HUB---KORCETT
HEAnet national network

It fills my screen. It is all I get until I log off ATS. I just find it odd that it only comes up when I am on ATS and it repeats it (TWC) every 10 seconds.

I briefly looked to see if they had sites or anything. the only 1 I can find was the HEAnet. Some company in Ireland.

I did check to see if I got the same kind of thing with other sites but not that I could see. The only reason I noticed is because I turned peerblock on, went to the kitchen for 5 min, came back and saw nothing but TWC and HEA. so I watched it for a while. I left ATS, it stopped, came back ext.

Anyway, just thought someone might be interested or has seen the same thing.

probably need to set it to allow ATS as an exception.

I have a similar experience. Anytime I access ATS my PeerBlock activity screen fills with Convergence Research/spybot.com - 64.94.126.65

I haven't seen this pop up anytime other than when I access ATS.

It makes me curious, however I don't have the technical expertise to investigate it further.
There must be a way to see what information is being broadcast? Could WireShark show anything interesting?

You need to make sure that HTTP is set to allowed or the site will not load correctly.

It might also be a browser plug in that you have, some plug ins are a nightmare for loading times etc.
