Description

SquidGuard is a free open source web filter that can be used to protect your family from unwanted websites. It is designed to work with the Squid web proxy server, and can be used to block access to certain websites, such as those containing pornography or other offensive content. SquidGuard works by examining the URL of a website that a user is trying to access, and comparing it to a list of blocked websites that you have configured. If a match is found, SquidGuard will block the request, preventing the user from accessing the website. In addition, SquidGuard can also be used to limit access to certain websites based on time of day and user type. This makes it ideal for parents who want to limit their children's access to certain websites at certain times.
