Title: Adding on Dan's Guardian to SME
Post by: kamu on August 26, 2004, 10:03:53 AM

I'm running SME server basically as a firewall/proxy in my school. It deligates mails to another machine behind it. I need to control the sites my students visit and therefore considering installing Dan's Guardian (DG) on the SME box. Is it possible? If so what are the steps?

Title: SME 6 w/ Dan's Guardian

Yes you can use the Guardian, but it will cost you $30 - $35 for the SME interface.  You can also use Squidguard rpms for free (http://www.tech-geeks.org/servers/sme/squidGuard/).  Dan's will allow a more refined control.  

But if all you are doing is a content filter/firewall then look at IPCOP.org.  Dan's interface is free (get addzon). IPCOP has a true firewall interface with builtin intrusion detection.  

If I were doing more then what you are asking I would use ESmith.  Otherwise IPCOP will do what you need and is as easy as SME.

I support 48 school districts in Illinois.  Plus there are other netspecs in the state using it.
