I > like 4.5 but 4.9 has better hardware coverage. Is SquidGuard still limited to only filtering the URL of the requested page, or does it actually check the text content of the page? Have you considered DansGuardian (www/dansguardian*)? It has the same URL filtering abilities of SG, but also includes support for filtering based on client username, client IP, webserver IP, domain, URL, text content, weighted text content, file extension, MIME-type, and PICS rating. No hard numbers for the current 2.6 and 2.7 versions, but DG 2.2 and 2.4 were several times faster than SquidGuard (whichever version was out then) for URL processing. Just something to consider. Not sure what your needs or requirements are, but thought I'd offer up an alternative. :) PS: If you decide to install the Dansguardian port(s), there's an issue with dansguardian-devel where it doesn't install a complete startup shell script. You'll have to edit that manually (not sure how that one got past my tests). -- Freddie Cash fcash-ml@sd73.bc.ca
