Hi Steve, You can find out more about 'Dans Guardian' here: http://www.dansguardian.org/
I installed D.G. on a Redhat 7.3 server I set up for a local primary school and initially tested on my home (RH 7.2) linux gateway/server. Since it turned out to be quite an effective content filter without being overly restrictive I left it running on the home server. I also tried SquidGuard and DG was far more effective IMO. DG acts as a proxy but requires a caching proxy server such as squid to perform the fetching . I set it up as a 'transparent proxy' using an iptables rule to redirect port 80 to 8080. Installing and configuring DG on RedHat was a 'no brainer' - not sure what the issues will be with IPcop, but I'm sure Nick will let us know when he gets it going :-) cheers HM Steve Dunford wrote: >Now THIS is interesting...
