Web Content Filter
Hey everyone, got directive from management to deploy some sort of web content filtering to two small clients. End goal is to keep people off social networking, spyware laden sites and ****s.
They want $0 (of course) and asked me to look into Squid. I did some looking around and it seem all it does it caching.
Is there a package I am missing or something? Best I can tell it doesn't do what they want me to do with it.
thanks in advance,

I think that should get you started in the right direction with Squid/SquidGuard. I think pfSense and Untangle can also be set up for content filtering as well. They are both free.99 as well.I bring nothing useful to the table... -

arwes Member Posts: 633 ■■■□□□□□□□Look at untangle. I'm thinking of testing that out here, as I think I've got a few remote users who are using our terminal servers to get past their company's content filtering.

I've used Untangle in a few places. It does fairly well. OpenDNS is another option. Or maybe a combination of the two."By the power of Grayskull" -
