[K12OSN] Squid & Content filtering

[Rita Gibson]

Someone who knows far more than me handles the firewall and internet 
filtering at our school. But I have been trying to learn some stuff on 
my own and saw a recommendation for IPCop on this list. At home, I have 
installed IPCop and dansguardian. There are very good howto's out there 
on the IPCop site, and with IPCop the updates and everything are right 
there on the site, and fairly automated with a web interface. The howto 
I followed off the IPCop "addons" site have you using a combination of 
dansguardian and the squidguard blacklists. I still haven't been able to 
figure out how to tweak dansguardian so that it doesn't block too much, 
but I'm figuring it out slowly but surely. I have my own teenagers here 
at home, and get plenty of feedback.

I had the CD burned, and the howtos printed out already, in thirty 
minutes I had installed and configured everything with the howtos.
