IPCop Firewall

Thx to JaVa I have now updated my How-To on
'Website Filtering with Squid' ACLs @ =
http://www.dageek.co.uk/ipcop/squid/
has now been updated.....
I made the original ver of my How-To when the ACL file woz
merged into the squid.conf every boot... due to some updates
around the system the ACL files is no longer used as far as I=20
can see. I still need to change the picz on my How-To as they
still show the ACL file but they still mean the same thing.
can someone have a quick look over it and make sure I have not
made a mistake and then I will post a message to the Users List
telling people it has been updated.

Here are some spelling corrections you can make:

   And Copy(F5) the hole Directory to an empty directory called IPCop
   Backup on your local system.

hole should be whole

   Step 2:
   Next make a new Directory(F7) on your own system again witch is where
   we are going to put all the files we are going to change.

witch should be which

Why don't you take out the "again" and say something like: "Next make a
second new Directory(F7) on your own system in which to store a local copy
of the files that we are going to change".

 N.B: Agree to Overwright the file 'squid.conf' when prompted

overwright should be overwrite

...open a Web Browser and type in one off the address you added to the
   badsites.txt file.

one off should be one of
address should be addresses


Have you thought about adding this to the main IPCOP web site
documentation (if it is not there already)? I bet more people would find
it if located on the main site.

Something to think about.

Yes, please add this to the FAQ, if possible.  If not, can you at 
least put a pointer to your site in the FAQ.

I have been looking for a nntp proxy preferably with at least header
caching. Primarily this is to concatenate multiple nntp server feeds
into one virtual server although I have any idea to combine multiple
friends IPCops into a bigger virtual nntp server.

They have some limited access control and filtering for unsuitable
groups and they also have configurable memory and disk footprints.

Has anyone any experience with either of these progs?

This is really kind of funny. I was trying to find out how to do just
this yesterday and I came across your web site! Thanks. It worked great
for me!

There's already a link to Gavin's page on the IPCop Twiki website. It's on
the Documentation page. Have a look at:

http://ipcop.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/IPCop/IPCopDocumentationv01

It's down at the bottom under Other Documentation...
