Topic: Squid Proxy

[gbentley]

Just wondering, does using SME Squid as a web proxy offer win clients any protection against Viri / Malware ?

Also, are there any contribs which may offer this ?

Thanks !!!

In my experience, passing thru smeserver for web browsing does not have rock solid protection from Virus/Malwares.  Its ClamAV does check for viruses.  However, I have one company before which I use SME as Internet Gateway.  I don't usually make any customization, aside from needed specifics.  Smeserver seems to be stable even if clients encounter problem with viruses. I guess that's the marking of Linux.  It just keeps on working, but some were able to reach end-users.

No.

Dansguardian + Clamav (download scanning & incoming email scanning & system scanning) has been integrated into sme & works fine
