Content filtering allows the system administrator to control access to unproductive and objectionable web sites/materials.

Content filtering may be accomplished by using a proxy server such as Squid (»www.squid-cache.org/), but frequently this is insufficient for all circumstances. Most proxy servers require you to manually add the names of sites/domains that should be blocked, by maintaining complex access control lists.

Specialized software for content filtering can not only block sites and domains contained in downloadable blacklists, but also filter based on keywords, search terms, etc.

One very powerful, yet easy to install, configure and maintain application, is DansGuardian. It works with Redhat Linux 6.2, 7.x, Madrake 8.x, Debian, Solaris and FreeBSD. It is available for download from »www.dansguardian.org/
