squidGuard 1.2.1 has been released
=======================================
Shalla Secure Services is proud to announce the release of squidGuard
version 1.2.1. See CHANGELOG for details. Please report problems and
bugs to [email protected].
squidGuard 1.2.0 has been released
==================================
Tele Danmark Internordia is proud to announce the release of
squidGuard vesion 1.2.0
Introduction
============
squidGuard is a combined filter, redirector and
access controller plugin for Squid. It is
* free
* very flexible
* extremely fast *)
* easily installed
* portable
squidGuard can be used to
* limit the web access for some users to a list of accepted/well
known web servers and/or URLs only.
* block access to some listed or blacklisted web servers and/or URLs
for some users. **)
* block access to URLs matching a list of regular expressions or
words for some users. **)
* enforce the use of domainnames/prohibit the use of IP address in
URLs. **)
* redirect blocked URLs to an "intelligent" CGI based info page. **)
* redirect unregistered user to a registration form.
* redirect popular downloads like Netscape, MSIE etc. to local
copies.
* redirect banners to an empty GIF. **)
* have different access rules based on time of day, day of the week,
date etc.
* have different rules for different user groups.
* and much more..
Neither squidGuard nor Squid can be used to
* filter/censor/edit text inside documents
* filter/censor/edit embeded scripting languages like JavaScript or
VBscript inside HTML
*) 100,000 requests in 10seconds on a 500MHz Pentium with lists of
5900 domains
7880 urls
13780 total
100,000 requests in 12seconds on a 500MHz Pentium with lists of
5900 domains
200000 urls
205900 total
I.e. domain and URL listsizes have neglectable performance effect
**) squidGuard is not a porn or banner filter/blocker, but it is very
well suited for these purposes too.
Capabilities
============
squidGuard has many powerful configuration options that lets you:
1. define different time spaces based on any reasonable
combination of
+ time of day (00:00-08:00 17:00-24:00)
+ day of the week (sa)
+ date (1999-05-13)
+ date range (1999-04-01-1999-04-05)
+ date wildcards (*-01-01 *-05-17 *-12-25)
2. group sources (users/clients) into distinct categories like
"managers", "employees", "teachers", "students", "customers",
"guests" etc. based on any reasonable combination of
+ IP address ranges with
+ prefix notation (172.16.0.0/12)
+ netmask notation (172.16.0.0/255.240.0.0)
+ first-last notation (172.16.0.11-172.16.0.35)
3. address lists (172.16.134.54 172.16.156.23 ...)
4. domain lists (foo.bar.com ...) *)
5. user id lists (weho sdgh dfhj asef ...) **) and optionally
link the group to a given time space
+ positively (within business-hours)
+ negatively (outside leisure-time)
6. group destinations (URLs/servers) into distinct categories
like "local", "customers", "vendors", "banners", "banned" etc.
based on an unlimited number of unlimited lists of
+ domains, including subdomains (foo.bar.com)
+ hosts (host.foo.bar.com)
+ directory URLs, including subdirectories
(foo.bar.com/some/dir)
+ file URLs (foo.bar.com/somewhere/file.html)
+ regular expressions ((expr1|expr2|...))
and optionally link the group to a given time space:
+ positively (within business-hours)
+ negatively (outside leisure-time)
7. rewrite/redirect URLs based on any reasonable combination of
+ string/regular expression editing à la sed with
+ silent squid redirecting rewrite (s@from@to@)
+ visible client redirecting rewrite (s@from@to@r) ***)
+ URL replacement with
+ silent squid redirect to a common URL (redirect "new_url")
+ visible client redirect to a common URL
(redirect "302:new_url") ***)
activated by
+ 1-1 URL redirection
+ destination group match
+ a fallback/default for blocked URLs
+ a fallback/default for blocked/unknown clients
and optionally with
+ runtime string substitution à la strftime or printf
8. define access control lists (acl) based on any reasonable
combination of the definitions above by
+ giving each source (user/client) group
+ a pass list with any reasonable combination of
+ acceptable destination groups (good-dests ...)
+ unacceptable destination groups (!bad-dests ...)
+ block IP address URLs (enforce the use of domain names)
(!in-addr)
+ wildcards/nothing (any|all|none)
9. optionally a common rewrite rule set for the source group
10. optionally a default replacement URL for blocked destinations
for the source group
and optionally:
11. link the acl to a given time space
+ positively (within business-hours)
+ negatively (outside leisure-time)
12. defining a fallback/default ruleset
13. have selective logging by optional log statements in the: ****)
+ source/client group declarations to log all translations
for the group (log "file")
+ destination group declarations. Typically used to log
blacklist matches. (log "file")
+ rewrite rule group declarations to log all translations
for the rule set (log "file")
and optionally anonymized to protect the individuals
(log anonymous "file")
*) Client access control based on domain name requires enabling
reverse lookups (log_fqdn on) in squid.conf.
**) Client access control based on user id requires enabling
RFC931/ident in squid.conf. Note: The RFC931/ident configuration is
changed in squid-2.2 and the RFC931/ident support is broken in
squid-2.2 at least up to STABLE2. We currently recommend using
squid-2.1.PATCH2 in production if RFC931 is used.
***) Note: Visible redirects (302:new-url) are not supported by some
interim versions of Squid (presumably 1.2-2.0).
****) Note: squidGuard is smart enough to open only one filedescriptor
per logfile (i.e. not necessarily one per log statement); per spawned
process of course. Though logging to too many different files may
exeed your system's concurrent filedescriptor limit.
Portability
===========
squidGuard should compile right out of the box on any modern brand of
UNIX with a development environment and a recent version (2.7.X or
3.2.X) of the Berkeley DB library. squidGuard is developed on Sun
Solaris-2.8 with gcc-2.95.3, bison-1.28, flex-2.5.4.
We also test regularly on Linux/RedHat with gcc and
our most recent copy of the Berkeley DB.
Users have reported success on at least, but not limited to:
* AIX: 4.1.3, 4.3.2.0/egcs-2.91.66
* Dec-Unix: OSF1-4.0/gcc-2.7.2.3, 3.2C/gcc-2.7.2.3
* Linux: RedHat-5.2/gcc-2.8.1 and later
* Solaris: 2.6/gcc-2.7.2.3
* Solaris: 2.8/gcc-2.95.3
Nota Bene!
==========
.db files created with Berkeley DB version 2.7.X are NOT
compatible with Berkeley DB version 3.2.X! If you created files
with "squidGuard-1.1.X -C" you must export them to a plain text
file and remove all .db files and run "squidGuard-1.2.0 -C"
News in squidGuard-1.2.0
========================
o Support for Berkeley DB version 3.2.X.
o Support for userquotas.
o All known bugs are fixed.
See the CHANGELOG for details.
