[ILUG] Anti-porn blacklist for shorewall?

[ILUG] Anti-porn blacklist for shorewall?

For your information dansguardian and squidguard are quite different. A simple 
summary would be Dansguardian is a content filter, checking the actual 
content of each webpage against a serious of parameters ie banned words. 
Squidguard bans sites based on their url and doesn't do content fitering. 

I would say to protect your kids you want content filtering - use Dansguardian 
in conjunction with Squid.

you could use squid and then get shorewall to redirect any traffic for
port www via :
REDIRECT        loc     3128            tcp     www
 in your rules file, then add squidguard plugin
http://www.squidguard.org or use Dansguards http://dansguardian.org.
not sure which is better as i've never installed either of them.
Is this what your after ?

Nils
