Yeah, I just have to find it.

It grabs tcp/8000. You can either make a request to it on port 8000 (it
responds sorta like a web server) and it forwards your request to the
web server in question on the standard port 80, or you can skip junkbuster
entirely and go straight to the web server on port 80.

Even though junkbuster can't be on ports 21, 25, 80, 110 and 119 at the
same time, I made sure it was not even slighly loaded (renamed
/etc/rc.d/init.d/junkbuster to xjunkbuster and rebooted), and lynx
still doesn't work. $http_proxy isn't set.

I think it's just a normal program, doesn't mess with the routing tables
or anything.

No, the closest similar item is a setting of which name/interface
to listen on.

Hang on... nope, that didn't work. Some incompatibility between 2.4.2x
and Netgear routers?
