Content Filter

General Information

DansGuardian is web content filtering software. It works as a web proxy, making web requests in behalf of the client, and inspecting the returned content before passing on to the client. DansGuardian uses phraselists to identify harmful content. This means that updated "blacklists" are generally not necessary. DansGuardian must be used in combination with a "smart proxy", such as squid.

This page defines the basic network configuration settings for DansGuardian.

Filter Actions

These parameters define how sensitive the filter is, and where to redirect requests if the content filter determines that the content is inappropriate. The "naughtynesslimit" is more sensitive the lower it is set. The author recommends 50 for "young children", 100 for "older children" and 160 for "young adults".
