Ok, I'm pretty new to this but have made some progress. The documentation for GuardDog seems reasonable clear and I was able to get it working with my router and the "Shields Up" website gave me a clean bill of health. Now, I'm trying to get the whole thing working with DansGuardian. So, I've installed "TinyProxy" (which I'm going to change to Squid as I've discovered that TinyProxy won't allow DansGuardian to support an exceptionuserlist). If I set the browsers to use the proxy (8080), then DansGuardian works just fine. So now, all the remains is to transparantly route everything through this proxy so that DansGuardian cannot be bypassed. It's not clear to me from the directions how I would do that. Do I need a custom protocol that sets the connection between Local and LAN to port 8080 only? How exactly do I do that?.....or, if I'm on the wrong track, what do I do? My set up is as follows: A single computer connected by Cat5 cable to my router box running Kubuntu 6.10. Another laptop also connects wirelessly to the router, but I don't care about that one, this is the "family" computer and I want it secure and content filtered (at least for the kids). So....I'm almost there, can anybody help me get "over the hump"? Thanks, Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
