I've used DansGuardian and can recommend it. It might go too far or not far enough for you though. Depends on the age of your users and the policy you're trying to enforce. I recommend AGAINST 'transparent' proxying. It rarely is truly transparent and can much things up. Use the proxy setting abilities of DHCP instead.

(ubuntu Christian edition). http://ubuntuce.com/ Not sure if it is actively developed. Liked it in 6.06!

Re: internet filtering options
Hi, I think that a proxy would be best suited to what you are trying to achieve. Check out this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/dansguardian-content-filtering-with-transparent-proxy-on-ubuntu-9.10-karmic Also have a look at howto configure Dansgardian and Squid on help.ubuntu.com Josh. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
