Folks.Squid running squidGuard?? Not exactly sure of the features.
As part of my "get Linux into the company by the backdoor" sneakiness, I'm looking for some web blocking software.
We have a pile of steaming dog faeces called "Surf Control" which runs on WindoZe, but it's not even close to acceptable for us, so I'm sniffing at alternatives.
What I want is a product which sits on the network in promiscuous mode, sniffs out HTTP requests, and then kills the connection based on rules which include content type, time, username etc etc.
Anyone know of a product for Linux which will do this? It needs an active database {Surf Control's one redeeming feature is that they maintain a large database of websites, and continually update it} and catagorise them into stuff like "adult/sexually related", "computing and the internet" and other classes.
I know I'm asking a lot - Surf Control is a nice piece of software, except for the fact that it doesn;t bloody work properly! I want the features, I'd just like to do something similar on an open source platform.
