TO THE AUTHORS OF SQUIDGUARD Note : I am currently using SquidGuard 1.2.0 and Berkeley DB 2.7.0
Hi, I am an Internet Infrastructure Design Engineer at "Electrict� de France" (EDF). We are currently using Squid as a web cache proxy server. We would like to add filtering capabilities to our proxy. We are divided between Squid's own configuration possibilities and those of squidGuard. I think Squid offers everything squidGuard does except two main features : redirection and use of Berkeley DB libraries to make responsive and easy-to-upgrade databases from prohibited lists. Thus, I would like to know if you have done any response time comparisons between Squid and squidGuard filtering. For instance, how do they perform respectively with large lists when a url or domain at the end of the list is requested? If you have not done any such thing, I would then appreciate that you gave me your detailed studies on squidGuard performances. Thank you in advance for such precious help, sincerely, Pejmann Amiri.
