    Setting up an Internet proxy - need help

    Setting up an Internet proxy - need help

    Hi guys

    In the past I had set a computer to act as an Internet proxy. This would be multihomed, and running dansguardian, tinyproxy and firehol. Then webmin would be used as interface. By time I realised that this system is far from effective....

    Is there some other way to setup a proxy to be placed between users and the Internet? I would like (the admin) to be able to see in which sites users go and have a lot of control on access..

    Your help is grealty appreciated!

    You might consider setting up a system that uses IP cop. See www.ipcop.org

    It basically acts as a router, a firewall (with detailed traffic logs), and I believe it can act as a proxy as well.

    I think the kind of legit way is to setup a proxy/cache squid server and then use that as your network gateway..and then have that forward network requests that aren't cached
