ABE blocking my Internet connection

I'm trying to do some web browsing at my local library, using their free wireless connection; however, ABE keeps blocking the login script.
I'm not sure how to disable ABE
only for the library's IP address... can somebody help me to create a ruleset?
Thanks!

So that someone may write an ABE rule for you, please post the full ABE message about the site you want to allow.

Drat... I didn't save the message, and I'm not going to be back at the library until next Tuesday.
However, I do recall that the message said a GET call on port 3990 had been blocked from a certain IP (the IP was listed, but I can't for the life of me remember it...
)
Could you explain how to write a generic ABE script that would enable a certain IP for a certain port, or even enable the entire IP? (Especially if the library's IP changes, the proverb about teaching a man to fish applies here... besides, I don't want to keep bothering everyone every time ABE sits on a website...
)
Thanks!

Anyway, provided that you're probably hitting the "LocalRodeo" rule in the SYSTEM ruleset, you may try to insert this rule at the beginning of the SYSTEM ruleset file (editing it from
NoScript Options|Advanced|ABE):
Code: Select all
Site ^https?://[^/:]*:3990/
Accept

Ah, thanks!
I tried allowing the library's IP by creating a rule in the USER ruleset, but apparently I didn't go "high-level" enough... I will try your rule next time I visit the library. Thanks!
(btw, it looks like your rule is a simple RegEx, which I am very familar with... I will try again to create a rule just for the library's IP. Less of a hole = less security risk...
