How can I bypass CPALead completely?
by admin on Feb.08, 2010, under Howtos
If you dont wanna complete a survey just to view CPALead protected webpages, than this post is for you! We are about to do is simply replace every single part of cpalead.com with the code that disables the redirect script. This means that CPALead will disappear forever from your computer! As a CPALead publisher, this would be very helpful.
For Mac Users
It’s suggest to use GimmerBlocker to block it. After downloading and installing GimmerBlocker enable the intrusive/fragile ad filtering filter in the options. The blocker is included with this filter.
For Windows/Linux User
Add the following lines to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (You might have to create this file)
208.94.241.218 cpalead.com cpalock.com www.cpalead.com www.cpalock.com adscendmedia.com www.adscendmedia.com
Note: The Windows version includes the CPALead blocked notification by default, and you cannot disable it. Also, in the notification there is the URL of this page because this will use the bandwidth of the author’s hosting account.
CPALead has now been deleted off the internet for you and you will not get redirected to another site because you have blocked it.
On my small test of 4 sites CPALead was gone and the alert I added was the only way I knew it was there. If you do have problems with it still just post a comment here. Please provide a url to the site with CPALead or any other CPA network if you want it fixed.
Known Issues
Proxies: If using a proxy you have to do the edits on the proxy itself, not your local machine. NAT (routers/WiFi) is not included in this unless you use a proxy on that router.

If you change the ip it will not work. The correct one is 208.94.241.218 .
