Please explain _why_ you don't want to use a proxy, and _why_ you won't/can't use packet filtering? HTTP __is in fact layer 7__, so why the need to write your own proxy? I mean, writing a layer 7 URL filtering is in a fact a proxy like Squid, so why do you want/need to craft you own proxy? Perhaps, you don't want your users to know that you are filtering them. or you don't want to set-up the proxy in each browser? That is called an "intercepting proxy" and filters all traffic on the gateway, and you would still use a combination of pf and squid. If you don't want to use squidguard, or dansguardian because of the messages they sent to the user, you can customize that to say or redirect to another form of not authorized page. Please explain the _why_ in your original post and perhaps it would be easier to help you > > so can you please help me a little=A0 ? > best regards > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.o= rg" >
