LnS does not handle these type of things directly. You will need to use a proxy type program to filter those things.

A couple you could look at:
Proxomitron
Adsubtract

Hi guys!

As an addition to what CrazyM said, there is an updated version of Proxomitron for German users (more rules):

You can even use this version if you aren't German speaking. The rules are still in English!

Best regards!

Patrice
