Re: freebsd / gateway / parental control
Hi, Back in '96 I used to run squid on a (linux Slackware) 486 DX 100Mhz, 64 MB RAM for 20 to 30 computers, with a dialup line. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work or be overkill for your setup :) I actually have the same setup in mind (down to the compaq + Dlink in bridged mode :-D ) Great! OK I am encouraged to give it a try. But hardware-wise I will need to NICs and plug my modem line into one NIC and then the other NIC will be used to connect the Dlink router. I figure the Dlink router essentially becomes redundant but it is a wireless machine so I would like to use it anyway. Is my thinking correct here? Thank you!

Re: freebsd / gateway / parental control
Hi there again,
Great! OK I am encouraged to give it a try. But hardware-wise I will
need
to NICs and plug my modem line into one NIC and then the other NIC will
be
used to connect the Dlink router. I figure the Dlink router essentially
becomes redundant but it is a wireless machine so I would like to use it
anyway.
you'll need 2 nics, right.
If you use the wireless in the DSL modem, you'll be bypassing the BSD
server.
Just one question here. If I plug the router to the lan NIC and configure
it to take DHCP and DNS settings from the BSD box, then the wireless will
not bypass the BSD machine, will it?
what I have planned to do is use a non-wireless DSL modem in bridged mode
(DLINK 504T), connect to the BSD box.
BSD box with 2 NICs ('wan' and 'lan') as well as a DLINK G520 PCI
Wireless
card (Atheros chipset) and make the BSD box the wireless AP.
I see. I can do the same but that would render the wireless Dlink useless
so I wonder if I can still use it and control connections via the BSD
machine.
Thank you very much!

Stop in /usr/ports/... error code 1
Hi, I sometimes make a mistake of selecting wrong options while installing port software which ends in a port not being installed. I never know how to undo it in order to start again from the options selection. I try make clean but that does not fix the issue and I cannot get a given port installed. What is the procedure to delete initial choice of settings to start afresh? Thank you very much in advance!

freebsd / gateway / parental control
Hello, I am looking for advice. I have a dlink router/modem that connects to my ADSL line. At some point I would like to use an old pc with freebsd on it to sit between the router and the rest of my home network. What kind of set up should I be aiming for to make it possible? On the software side I am also looking for some kind of parental control utility. I guess I can use pf. But would that be enough? I think it would have to be something that would allow me to define keywords based on which sites containing them would get automatically blocked on the fbsd gateway. I'd rather use open source solutions. Many thanks in advance!

Re: freebsd / gateway / parental control
Hello, Thank you all who have responded! utility. I guess I can use pf. But would that be enough? I think it would have to be something that would allow me to define keywords based on which sites containing them would get automatically blocked on the fbsd gateway. I'd rather use open source solutions. squid and squidguard seem like the obvious choices to me. -j I use squid and dansguardian. Very easy to setup. /usr/ports/www/dansguardian I have never tried squid but it seems quite a big package. I have also seen oops but not sure which to choose. Basically, will squid not be an overkill for a family network consisting of 3-4 machines? The box I want to devote for gateway/pc purposes is a Compaq PIII 866 Mhz with 512 MB RAM and 40GB HD.

apache13 apache13 with ssl support
Hello, I installed apache13 once upon a time and would like now to try out https. My question is how do I go about it? Should I uninstall apache and then install apache13-modssl or apache13-ssl? Is there a better way like installing the missing ssl modules? The handbook says: If you have not yet installed Apache, then a version of Apache 1.3.X that includes mod_ssl may be installed with the www/apache13-modssl port. Since I have already installed apache, I am not sure how to add the missing ingredients. Many thanks in advance!
