Squid can be set up to be quite secure with the right ACLs (Access Control Lists). Have a look at http://www.squid-cache.org for more details. It all depends on what you call safe though. By safe do you mean safe from being exploited, or safe as in the users' can't get to certain websites? You're going to have to be a bit more descriptive about your requirements if you want less vague answers from the list :) Squid can be run as a different user, eg 'squid' or 'webcache' or whatever tickles your fancy, instead of plain root. I have not tried running it in a chroot environment but I am sure that with (some) tweaking it's possible. Has anyone tried this? You'd have to compile squid statically to save yourself a lot of library problems, I am sure.
