Honestly? Complete filtering of the web is impossible. Theres simply
too many web sites and too much growth to ever anticipate blocking
everything that needs blocking.
Theres only two other approaches I see.
1) User education Teach the users.... somthing.... to make them...
better and different.... okay thats not really feasable.
2) Co-operation You download porn blacklists from three places. I have
my own blacklists [1] Why can't squidGuard users have a cooperative set
of blacklists? Why can't we co-operate and produce a set of *whitelists*
such that
pass whitelists none
becomes more useful than
pass !this !that !theother all
What are the thoughts of the list?
Here's my list sizes
2216 ad/domains 336 ad/urls
2087 approved/domains 57 approved/urls
3793 censorware-evade/domains 12 censorware-evade/urls
4277 chat/domains 332 chat/urls
1261 excessive-volume/domains 6 excessive-volume/urls
570 games/domains 216 games/urls
2270 no-curriculum-content/domains 63 no-curriculum-content/urls
160938 pornography/domains 78913 pornography/urls
8 translation-proxy/domains 0 translation-proxy/urls
98 wares/domains 31 wares/urls
3989 webmail/domains 59 webmail/urls
181519 total 80035 total
[1] more concentrated on webmail and chat sites - girls aren't much into
porn fortunately.
