A Web filter is a software that can filter the type of content a Web browser displays. The filter checks the content of a Web page against a set of rules and replaces any unwanted content with an alternative Web page, usually an "Access Denied" page. The type of content to be filtered is usually controlled by a systems administrator or a parent. Web filters are used in schools, libraries, and homes to safeguard children from obscene content on the Internet.
The only software you need to set up parental filters under GNU/Linux is iptables, DansGuardian, and Squid. Read more at Linux.com Read here how to install an antivirus plugin for DansGuardian. |
