33 It's OK to change the numbers in brackets to [0:0]. They represent
34 the number of [packets:bytes] since the rule was last updated. Which
35 block has the most traffic depends on which part of the planet you're
36 on. Here in Toronto, Canada outbound traffic to the 31.13.64.0/18
37 block, specifically 31.13.80.3, is the most common hit. This comes from
38 websites with Facebook beacons trying to track every man and his dog.

40 You'll notice the occasional website with a small rectangle that says
41 "...can't establish a connection to the server at...". Insert your
42 browser's name at the left, and the website name (Facebook,
43 ad.doubleclick.net, etc) at the right.
