[edit] features and highlights

access control for squid
- blocking of the internet for several user, ip's or pc's is possible
- you can perform grouping of users and / or hosts

very good url filters:
- black- and whitelisting of sites with regex.7 expressions or some simple string comparison
- unwanted banners can be replced with a transparent 1x1 pixel image
- you can filter with md5 or sha1 lists - md5(www.unwanded.xx)

very good content filtering:
- scanning for content-types with regex.7 expressions
- advanced phrase weighting system like Dansguardian
- pass-through antivirus scanning with clamav

Squidwall should run on all UNIX-like systems, e.g. Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD or Sun Solaris.

Squidwall hasn't high machine requirements. A P3-500 with 64MB RAM should be enough.
