davidwalton Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hello, I am a newbie over here. I am planning to subscribe Safesquid-Content Filtering Internet Proxy Server for my enterprise. Have any one of you use this software before? Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Never heard of it. What is it suppose to do? What browser are you using? Is this something to block inappropriate sites? Or is it filtering out ads? Most of us go with Firefox or Konqueror. Firefox has a lot of tools that are free for blocking ads and fine tuning your connection.

nlinecomputers Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Julia,It is a proxy server that can filter sites based on known blacklists. Never used it personally but it is very powerful and I've heard good things about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 SafeSquid is a Content Filtering Internet Proxy sounds interesting. https://www.safesquid.com/content-filtering/safesquid-composite-edition-linux It has a linux offering however it seems that all products are commercial. You do realise that this thread last had a reply was back in 2005. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
