You don't want Netfilter for this; why try and reinvent the wheel? Use Junkbuster (http 1.0 and 1.1 proxy), reckon on spending a morning (possibly compiling from a tarball, possibly installing a RH .rpm) and figuring out how to configure it (there's a web browser interface for this, if you need it!). Avoid the so-called stable 2.0.x tree, it's dead and anyway it doesn't work effectively. Choose the 2.9.x tree, 2.9.11 works fine. Actually, it's brilliant :c) You can configure it to forward to your Squid proxy for caching. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ijbswa/ > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.; It doesn't run under Gnome. Why not try Netscape/Mozilla 6.2.1? It's free, too.
