http://ubuntuforums.org – Hihi! I've been running linux mint for a while before installing ubuntu on my main computer but i'm still a total n00b. I wanted to use a secure/private browser (or at least know how to do it) and am not really sure where to begin. I downloaded Tor but I don't understand how to run it and just got a bunch of code when I opened what I thought would be the browser. A quick search on this forum and on the web generally seems to mention Squid and Dansguardian. I tried the: sudo apt-get install dansguardian squid command that i read someone else recommending, but I ended up with this: Quote: (Hardware)

Hi All

I m using squid 2.7 Stable 9 and Dansguardian 2.10.1.1, i have compiled both squid and dansguardian, i have enabled follow_x_forwarded_for in squid to make clients IPs visible to squid, i have also set x_forwarded_for=on in dansguardian, this is working fine and clients ips are visible to squid.

Now i want to set down-loadable file size limit upto 50 MB in squid by using the acl reply_bod

I installed dansguardian & squid on 11.2 and things seem to run fine. Squid auto starts but dansguardian does not. I have checked Yast2's runlevel services option and dansguardian is enabled to 'Yes'. But when i check with 'service dansguardian status' it reports 'unused'. If i start dansguardian by hand, things work perfectly fine.

I have an Ubuntu Server12.04 installation acting as a proxy server using Squid 3.1.19.

Squid has been configured to pass content to SquidClamAV 6.10 to check for viruses (using icap):

icap_service service_req reqmod_precache bypass=1 icap://127.0.0.1:1344/squidclamav adaptation_access service_req allow all icap_service service_resp respmod_precache bypass=1 icap://127.0.0.1:1344/squidclamav adap

HI all,

For the last few years I've had a fairly simple Dansguardian setup running on my local machine to keep my personal web browsing SFW. After my upgrade from F15, it broke, and I didn't have the time to debug.

I have set up mi kid's laptop with dansguardian for web filtering using squid as proxy. Works like a charm but here is the problem: When I log in under my account as admin, I'd like to use dansguardian filter group 2 w/o filtering. Problem is I can get dansguardian to understand it's me. I tried ident as authentication, no effect.

HiSorry to come up with this topic again. I can't get these two autostarting everytime i boot/reboot.The existing thread from 2009 is not working on my current waldorf setup.sudo service squid restart&sudo service dansguardian restartin a terminal windows after boot are working fine.Thx. for your advise.

[ubuntu] ufw and dansguardian 1 year 20 weeks ago

Hello,

I want to use dansguardian as a content filter with squid. I also want to block all outgoing internet traffic except on port 8080, so that users cannot circumvent the content filter by turning off the proxy settings in their browser. However, when I do this using ufw it basically blocks all outgoing internet traffic even if I allow specific ports.

I've configured squid with squid with squidguard and when using proxy in browser it works fine. But I want to enforce using proxy (probably in iptables) in all browsers. Now it can be disabled in the browser settings by user.

My setup is: one standalone pc with ubuntu running the squid and squidguard and on this very same device I want to somehow enforce using the proxy.

Hello,I have installed Dansguardian (web filter) from the repositories and then I tried installing webcontentcontrol (a gui for dansguardian) from source.
