RE: Squid whitelist and blacklist (controlled kid browsing)

Thanks dude, that is a nice looking HOWTO and is much more in-depth than my "simple tutorial". Great resource there for folks working with squid and ACLs.

And I am amazed that more people dont do the "whitelist" type thing, regardless of which software they use and what the specific implementation is. I use the whitelist approach with my kids - with a little admin tool I created so that I or my wife can change the list easily - and it works great. The only way to really filter things is the whitelist, all that blacklist nonsense does not work reliably and consistently enough to use as a filter for kids.
