Free 2.8 script

It filters the actual content of pages based on many methods including phrase matching, PICS filtering and URL filtering. It does not purely filter based on a banned list of sites like lesser totally commercial filters.
DansGuardian is designed to be completely flexible and allows you to tailor the filtering to your exact needs. It can be as draconian or as unobstructive as you want.

The default settings are geared towards what a primary school might want but DansGuardian puts you in control of what you want to block.

The content phrase filtering will check for pages that contain profanities and phrases often associated with pornography and other undesirable content. The POST filtering allows you to block or limit web upload. The URL and domain filtering is able to handle huge lists and is significantly faster than squidGuard.

The filtering has configurable domain, user and source ip exception lists. SSL Tunneling is supported.
The configurable logging produces a log in an easy to read format which has the option to only log the text-based pages, thus significantly reducing redundant information such as every image on a page.

Major Features:

1. Significantly cheaper than IGear (one of the best commercial filters).
2. Can block adverts by the use of an advert URL block list.
3. Can filter text and HTML pages for obscene (sexual, racial, violent, etc) content.
4. Uses an advanced phrase weighting system to reduce over or under blocking.
5. Can filter sites using the PICS labeling system.
6. Can filter according to MIME type and file extension.
7. Can filter according to URLs including Regular Expression URLs.
