Hello.
I am running mnf 8.2. I am doing testing with Squid and content filtering on a 
standard setup system.
ETH-0 LAN
PPP-0 WAN
The policy for LAN to ALL is set to ACCEPT
Masquerading is set for LAN through PPP interface.
Also enabled transparent proxy and content filtering through Dansguardian.

The result is; pages containing sexual content are being blocked - works good,
on the other hand I am assuming it has to block file downloads with exe zip vbs 
etc.file extensions but it is not.
The configurations are all there, I checked.
Tried it on two system but with same results.

Thanks.
Andrew.


Hi again,

Now I remember that this does not work if you're using the transparent
mode because your browser doesn't know anything about your proxy. The
redirection is done through iptables. So, use the manual mode or the
authenticated mode and the extension filtering will work ...

Hey Florin

Even on transparent mode, surely all requests go via Squid and DansGuardian anyway, so the banned extensions should be blocked. This works on both of my sites using transparent proxying.

Ciao
