[ANNOUNCE] new contrib for web filtering
Daniel B.:
Hi.
I just want to annonce the availability of a new contrib which adds web filtering capabilities. It uses squidguard to block URLs and squidclamav to scan content preventing viruses. There's a simple panel for the server-manager to configure everything. The contrib also logs every requests in a MySQL database for easy analysis of the traffic.
This contrib was made to be simple to configure. It's not as powerful as dansguardian can be, but is really easier to install and is more user friendly.
You can take a look at the wiki page here: http://wiki.contribs.org/WebFiltering
Regards, Daniel

Thanks Daniel, sounds great!
Some questions if I may:
- How good is the database for blocked sites, and how to check if and when it was last updated?
- Should Dansguardian be uninstalled before installing your contrib, or will disabling Dans be OK to test?
Thanks.

Databases are quite good, at least for my needs. The adult one (which list porn websites) is the most complete. If you want to see which database was modified, you can edit /etc/cron.daily/squidGuard and remove 2>&1 > /dev/null at the end. You'll receive an email each night where you'll be able to see which database have changed. You can also disable the autoupdate feature and manage your own list, you can find several databases in squidGuard format on the internet.

In theory, it should work when dansguardian is installed. I haven't tested thought (I've developed this because I find dansguardian really too much a pain to install and manage).

Same here, I use Dans a fair bit in community based organisations, and it can be a real pain.... Will test and report problem in Bugzilla if applicable. Many thanks again. Cheers. cb
