[Linux4christians] Filtering out port

[Ben Thorp]

I currently use Squid running on a Smoothwall firewall, and using the
dansguardian content filter. It's an excellent filter - it filters by PICS
rating, file extensions, URLs and words, and seems to pick up most things,
although you get the odd false positive thrown in there.

If you have an old box to spare, then this is a worthy addition to a
network ;)
