Hi all, I'm looking to setup a content filter on Debian. I need to be able to apply different rules to different IP addresses, if that makes sense. Eg: blocking URL sex.com for 1 IP but not the other, etc... I would like it to be more than just a URL filter though. Has anyone had much experience with this, could you point me in the right direction ?
I've tried Dansguardian, at least the Debian versions: there is at least one newer.
Waste of time unless you're prepared to spend a lot of time maintaining it. Gets too many false positives on innocent sites such as theregister.co.uk (try the security link). whirlpool.net.au (discussion of broadband issues). In a classroom, you'd want your teachers to have admin access to whitelist sites.
OTOH finding how to make ricin's a doddle.I've used Squidguard: it's an URL filter and does what it does very nicely. There hasn't been a new version of the software for years, but the associated blacklists are maintained.
Chastity doesn't seem useful, I didn't get past reading the docs. Seemed to have lapsed from lack of interest.
