I have always used squid caching proxy, it supports a really wide range of ACL's and is reliable. Unfortunately I'm not really aware of any web interfaces for configuring squid tho. Another nice system to install is nntpcache (although this requires licensing) for prroxying and filtering NNTP (news) traffic. Squid even supports transparent proxy. Combine these with appropriate firewall rules and away you go.
