Filtering Proxy

[Haarsma, Michael (SAPOL)]

Content Keeper, an Oz company, has some pretty good installations, runs
on FOSS. 
Dansguardian + squidguard is a roll your own option. 
SmoothGuardian is another (corporate smoothwall and dansguardian)
 
There are LOTS around.

Subject: Filtering Proxy


Hello!

I'm looking for filtering proxy software for an expanding network that
currently has about 1000 users. Features we'd like to see are the
ability to authenticate users and groups with MS Active Directory,
complete logging of requests and the ability to easily report on them or
at least the ability to easily parse the log files, and blacklists and
whitelists that can be applied to specific groups and users. There would
preferably be caching in there as well, but from what I've seen from
looking around is that practically all of them do it anyway. After a bit
of Googling it seems that SafeSquid is the only thing that's coming up,
but I'm having issues with that because it seems like they've just been
spamming the entire Internet and clogging up Google. It makes me wary of
using their software. Does anybody have any experience with this, and
can offer some advice? 

Cheers,
Matt
