DansGuardian Description

Web content filter using Squid proxies. DansGuardian is an award winning Open Source web content filter which currently runs on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X, HP-UX, and Solaris.It filters the actual content of pages based on many methods including phrase matching, PICS filtering and URL filtering. It does not purely filter based on a banned list of sites like lesser totally commercial filters. DansGuardian is designed to be completely flexible and allows you to tailor the filtering to your exact needs.It can be as draconian or as unobstructive as you want. The default settings are geared towards what a primary school might want but DansGuardian puts you in control of what you want to block. Requirements: · Developer Tools installed · Internet connection · Administrative privileges for installation. What's New in This Release: · Add "originalip" option to dansguardian.conf, for determining the original destination IP in transparent proxy set-ups, and ensuring that the destination domain of the request resolves to that IP. · This can help to address a particular transparent proxy security vulnerability (US-CERT VU#435052), but because of certain limitations - only implemented on Linux/Netfilter; potential breakage of websites using round-robin DNS - the code is not enabled by default. · Enable by passing "--enable-orig-ip" to the configure script. · Fix a crash which could occur when dealing with simultaneous incoming connections in configurations using more than one listening socket. · Fix a crash when checking time limits on item lists. · Fix potential usage of uninitialised memory during phrase filtering.
