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
