[K12OSN] SquidGuard and Proxy Questions

[Abe Loveless]

A colleage of mine and I put together a contrib for the SME Server (when 
using squidGuard) to rewrite google image searches to force the safe 
search options.

See this article:
http://www.tech-geeks.org/article.php?story=20040826115541358

And this package:
http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/loveless/SMEServer/archives/squidGuardGoogle/

It's just a few changes to the squidguard.conf file.  So, if you want to 
use IPCop/squidGuard... you should be able to make the same changes there.

Hope that helps,
Abe
