[K12OSN] dansguardian on ipcop

How do I do this Ryan?  If I remember correctly, Dansguardian wouldn't work if I did not tab transparent proxy.  If I go to the ipcop gui interface, and unselect the  tab for transparent proxy, will my content filtering work?

I am using the addonz package of dansguardian, which comes with a gui.  So, when I access my ipcop gui, there is a tab for content filtering, where I can change configurations.  Here is the problem.
