Proxy Server using Squid, DansGuardian and ClamAV

I was going to use “Proxy Server using CentOS 4.6 and Squid+Adzapper and DansGuardian+ClamAV” for title but that to long :D .

My current proxy server was a left over from the previous SysAdmin, and I never touch nor fix it, coz it aint broked :P . But after several monitoring, the use of Internet from users is getting high, virus risk, and they no longer productive (actually for the last I dont care as I am not their employer)

This new proxy it has ability to
• Scan all traffic for virus
• Zap/remove ads/banner
• Content filtering based on naughtyness level and sites category
• ACL based on IP Address

The Complete step by step installation is attached below:
Proxy Server Installation manual

Next phase will have: (after using CensorNet)

  • Access list based on username (same as email account)
  • Bandwidth priority, policy and scheduling based on user group
  • Utilize Watchguard’s Web-blocker addon

To create the system I am using below referrence

    I didn’t have much knowlegde about squid proxy. Usually, what I am want to configure, someone else already did that and put it on their blog. So this is my simple how-to os setup proxy server. And this is enough for me and my company.

    It also is all about Centos4. And it seems the dansguardian and av setup is similar to the one on Sebastian’s blog. But it does contain some useful stuff like AdZapper and OpenDNS configurations.
    I have looked around and there does not seem to be any repository for Centos5 for dansguardian-av.
