Hi,
I have installed a server with Squid and SquidGuard in a french public library and it is working quite well. Thank you very much for these usefull programs.
There is only one problem left for me : adult sites are blocked, but when looking in google's cache, some users can still watch part of a blocked site. And I do not know how to block this cache because url's are made of various IP addresses. Do you have any idea on how to block google's cache ?
Thank you.

Your best bet is to force safe search on in the first place. I know this works for images. Haven't looked to see if it applies to general searches too but it seems like it should.
Eric at the k12ltsp project (http://k12ltsp.org) has added a patch to squidGuard that allows you to use the squidGuard rewriting rules to force google's safesearch to be on regardless of the configuration the user has in place in their browser. I don't know if the semantics he uses can be translated to searches on other engines or not (you may need to rewrite attempts to use other engines to force the use of google).
The best I can suggest is to get the source rpms from a recent k12ltsp release (I think squidGuard in the v3.1.2 release is the oldest that _may_ have the patch), pull out that patch and try to apply it to whatever you are using. I have managed to put together a package for us using that method. I could let you have our source package (rpm) but it is rather customized and you'd have to do some work to get it usable in your situation (OTOH his may to too).
