Hi list, Has anyone here use SquidGuard for their Squid proxy running in CentOS4.4 to block list of bad sites? Is the RPM available using yum? Any feedback using this software appreciated. Thank you very much. junji linux registered user #253162 Send instant messages to your online friends uk.messenger.yahoo.com
You have squidguard and squidguard-blacklists packages availables from Dag's repo (rpmforge). The SquidGuard documentation is good and you can get it in the project's homesite: squidguard.shalla.de -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Therefore it works much better than only relying on blocklists. It also exists as RPM for CentOS 4. Free for non commercial use only. Give it a try!

Last I knew it was squidguard.org. I'm glad it's been adopted; it wasn't so bad while the blacklists were being maintained. My technique's been reactive: block the kids' favourite sites. I was pretty amazed at chessgames, but we let that one stand: you would not expect any chess players amongst our students. btw One can also block stuff in Squid. We have a blanket ban on receiving video and music, as determined by the respones headers. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
