content filter
 

hello,

thank you for all your help.

... but I have a final question for today ;-)

what can you easily use and administer in terms of a content filter
for web pages? any recommendation?

I do not have so high security issues with my 10 and 11 years old kids
and no one else will be able to use the system. but I do want to start
using one.

rgds,

uwe

You may want to try squidguard.

Hi,
You actually have 2 options that I know work quite well, in
conjunction with squid (web and internet cache.) They are Dansguardian
and Squidguard. I suggest searching google for howtos... I've used
dansguardian successfully with grouping via iptables, so that teachers
are not blocked but all students are...

Kind Regards,

Uwe,

If you have an extra system around, I would personally recommend using
IPCop (http://www.ipcop.org). It's a great firewall, and the fact that
it's on a completely different system is a good thing. You can also
install AdvProxy (http://www.advproxy.net) which is Squidguard
underneath, and URLFilter (http://www.urlfilter.net) to do some pretty
extensive, but easy to configure, content filtering.


Cheers,
Jordan/Lns

I have a howto, in finnish, sorry.

http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/Nettisuodatus

Dansguardian - Tinyproxy - Firehol

Google for those and you find same howto in english.

You can also use OPENDNS
You set up an account, your filter settings and change your DNS settings to use them.

Squidguard is good but a little limited in terms of function.

For more function there is Dans Guardian, natuerlich

For a complete firewall/filter solution on a separate machine, there is
Endian Community Edition (free, a tiny bit tricky to set up if you've
never set up anything like this before, but good) http://endian.it. It has
integrated, albeit somewhat limited, content filtering as well as
anti-virus filtering. For a little more punch to your content filtering,
you need to manually download a blacklist (see
http://www.squidguard.org/blacklists.html), upload it to /root with scp,
unpack it into /etc/dansguardian/blacklists ... be warned that the first
time you activate the content filtering it will take a long time - as in
an hour on a fairly quick machine - to initialize. You'll also need a lot
of RAM, like 1 GB or more, to run at all. Automatic blacklist updates are
only available on Endian's very expensive commercial products.

Tom Wolfe

.... and of course IPCop with addons as a fully free alternative to
Endian (Endian is derived from IPCop and is kind of a turn-key solution):

http://www.ipcopaddons.org/
