[K12OSN] Squid Question

[Jim Hays]

We use DansGuardian on an IPCop machine.  If you can, use a separate box and
install IPCop (http://www.ipcop.org)  Install the Addonz module and then install
Cop+ and CopFilter.  Dansguardian is in the Cop+ module.  This will give you the
filtering you need PLUS intrusion detection, Spam Filtering, Virus filtering, 
and more.  And the price is right..... :)
 
Network <----> K12LTSP <----> IPCOP <---------->Internet

Mansy, many K-12 schools around here are set up this way with DansGuardian on IPCop.
