[plug] Porn Filtering options

[shayne oneill]

Yah. Squidguard can be a bit of wierdo to set up, but when set up it works
great.
I used it a while ago at a job after the boss complained of "too much porn"
(aprox 2/3 of surfing!)
in the work place proxy. (I didn't have the heart to point out all the logs
pointed to his logins). It worked
100%

Another compelling reason, is the list is open. No netnanny crap about
hidden lists blocking breastcancer awareness
sites or google caches or crap that turns up in the commercial ones.
