Can I block certain web sites?Yes. Login to the IPCop console as root and edit a file named /etc/hosts. Make the first address 0.0.0.0 and then add the URL of the offending website.
Do not remove or change the first two lines of /etc/hosts!
Example /etc/hosts

Can I block annoying ads?Yes. Using the same method as above, add lines as needed to your /etc/hosts A utility located at http://ssmedia.com/utilities/hosts/ has a maintained listing of adservers.
http://www.everythingisnt.com/hosts.html this has an updated list for Linix (so it will work with IPCop) if you are worried about installing it on a firewall there is a simple to use installer for Windows which you can try out on a test PC.
An easy way is to ssh into IPCop from a Xconsole or in Windows Putty and cut and paste from the adserver list.
