Setting configuration file for squidGuard

[davian thule]

Hi,

I am trying to create a transparent filtering proxy server for my organization. However, I have not had much experience with setting configuration files (I configure most programs through webmin) and I was wondering if anybody could give me any ideas on how to correctly set the configuration file for squidGuard. I have tried to set webmin before but with no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

you can configure squid thru webmin right away, to configure squidguard you need to install the module niemueller.de - webmin modules - SquidGuard Configuration

makes life much easier and when you initially run the module, if you havne't set up squidguard in squid, it will do it for you

Hi,

If I have installed the webmin module for squid guard, does this mean that I do not need to do any configuration in the squid Guard webmin file?

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help and Webmin has helped me a lot. However, I'm still stuck on configuring squid guard. I have uploaded my squidGuard configuration file for you to have a look at:

Note that I have managed to get Squid Proxy Server and SARG installed and they are able to interact, and I have managed to install both squidGuard and the squidGuard webmin module, but I have not got the filtering on squid guard working.
