I'm looking for a way to set-up a web proxy at home. Hopefully there's a solution I can use to do this.
Alternatively, do you have any ideas for setting up one at home using a proxy with an auto updating list?
UPDATE - AutoUpdating list so the new sites are categorized and downloaded and the filtering is done by category instead of per site e.g. peerblock works this way
Appliance as in a small dedicated hardware or device to perform this task, like WD TV live or Acer Aspire Revo with the media center edition
I'd be ok with setting up Squid / Linux / SquidGuard even if i'm not familiar with *nix but ideally a small form factor pc with dual nic's would be ideal so it can be out of sight for the most part !
I would ditch asking for an appliance because asking for buying recommendations are against the um...I think it's either the rules or the faq. My point remains. – digitxp – 2010-09-07T22:50:50.377
@digitxp I don't think he actually uses an appliance like a dishwasher... I think he rather means something/software to use (Like Squid on Linux). – BloodPhilia – 2010-09-07T22:55:27.967
@Kumar You might want to add details to your question... (Like what you mean with auto updating a list) – BloodPhilia – 2010-09-07T22:57:05.797
@digitxp - i'm asking for info for a specific purpose as that info has been hard to find thus far, recommendation comes in when there are multiple choices available which is not the case here – Kumar – 2010-09-08T15:09:14.070
@Kumar This is the piece of junk they use at my school. Is that close to what you want?
