Rep Power: 5  | DansGuadian is a plugin for Squid which provides content filtering.
DansGuardian is an award winning web content filtering proxy that uses Squid to do all the fetching. It filters using multiple methods. These methods include URL and domain filtering, content phrase filtering, PICS filtering, MIME filtering, file extension filtering, POST limiting.
The content phrase filtering will check for pages that contain profanities and phrases often associated with pornography and other undesirable content.
The POST filtering allows you to block or limit web upload. The URL and domain filtering is able to handle huge lists and is significantly faster than squidGuard.
The filtering has configurable domain, user and source ip exception lists. SSL Tunneling is supported.
The configurable logging produces a log in an easy to read format which has the option to only log the text-based pages, thus significantly reducing redundant information such as every image on a page.
Pretty much all parts of DansGuardian are configurable thus giving the end administrator user total control over what is filtered and not some third-party company.
