Michael, SquidGuard and DansGuardian work differently. SquidGuard uses a static list of categorised "blocked" sites, whereas DansGuardian is a dynamic content filter.
I use SquidGuard, but have not used DansGuardian. SquidGuard (for me) has been easy to set up and run, and whatever hangups you might get are answered on the website or you can get help here. I like that I can add whatever sites I want to SquidGuard in addition to it coming with a predefined "blacklist". Hope this helps -AB -----Original Message----- From: Michael Gale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 16, 2004 7:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [squid-users] squidGuard Hello, We have upgraded to squid 2.5 stable 6 and I have to say that I am still very impressed with squid. I have been using it for about 3 years now. The amount of control is great as I love to add in ACL's :) Any ways I plan on adding in SquidGuard soon and from what I have read from the list it seems painless and does not hurt performance. What I would like to know is how does it compare to DansGuardian with regards to filtering ability ? Also would I still need to install adzapper.sourceforge.net and if so which redirector should get hit first ? Thanks -- keep up the great work. -- Michael Gale Network Administrator Utilitran Corporation
