RE: [squid-users] Content Filtering Solutions

I'm not sure about an Open-source solution, but SurfControl
(www.surfcontrol.com) is a great alternative product. We have done numerous
Corporate installations of it, including some icap integrations with squid -
although there is still continual development for this support.

Subject: [squid-users] Content Filtering Solutions

I work in the security assessment field and currently utilize Websense for
content monitoring. My
license for websense will be up in a month and would like to replace it with
an open source solution.

Are there any open source solutions that will allow me to use a spanned
(mirrored) port on a switch
to monitor traffic, specifically web traffic and match that traffic against
a blacklist, such as
urlblacklist.com's list. I just want to monitor the traffic and be able to
provide a report based on
what users within an organization are looking at by passively sniffic the
traffic on the spanned port.

I know this isn't directly related to squid, but I would like to then
recommend squid/dansguardian
to be used for content filtering in some cases.

Any ideas?
