Marcello,

What is your recommended configuration?

Thanks!

[marcelloc]

@KeltecRFB:

What is your recommended configuratio?

User -> dansguardian -> squid -> internet
                (With clamav)

[KeltecRFB]

Any good documentation on just using Squid and Dansguardian or point me to the best thread because everything I have tried fails.

Did you tried this?

Thank you, I figured out what was wrong … :-)

Now to figure out anti-virus.

@KeltecRFB:

Now to figure out anti-virus.

just select clamdscan on system -> dansguardian -> general and save config

I did just that but then Danguardian pops up with a message stating it is blocking the site because it can not scan it, Categories:  Content scan.  What else needs to be done; do I also need to disable a categories filter?

Thanks!

Force a frashclam update on console and then restart dansguardian(or save config)

Did that, same response - website blocked, unable to scan content…

In addition, if I turn on clamdscan, and then turn it off because it is not working properly yet, I have to reboot the box for internet connectivity to be restored.

Should I try to enable it and reboot?

[marcelloc]

Are you on latest dansguardian package version?

[KeltecRFB]

@marcelloc:

Are you on latest dansguardian package version?

2.12.0.3 pkg v.0.1.7

I see other people have had this problem, but nothing sticks out yet.

Marcello,

I tried doing this and the download was successful, however, the deny page for Cisco is still displayed when clamdscan is activated.

Problem resolved…

I made a change thinking that was the problem for something else but it wasn't and caused a problem with clamdscan working properly.  Now everything is working.

Hi all,

I followed this, and got it to work, but found that things eventually slowed to a crawl. I think my box may be under powered, but for me, blocking Ads network wide would be enough.

Can privoxy work standalone?  I get an error in my browser when I try to NAT directly to 8118 :

invalid header received from client

Privoxy is listening on localhost:8118

I would appreciate any tips.

[marcelloc]

Did you tried only dansguarguardian (with clamav enabled) + squid?

[Phobia]

No I didn't - I thought privoxy would be more light weight, if I only need to block ads…

[marcelloc]

You are having issues using only privoxy?

[Phobia]

Sorry for the delay in my reply.

Yes, I was receiving an error message for every page I tried to browse when I pointed the NAT rule directly to port 8118 (Privoxy):

"invalid header received from client"

I finally installed Squid3 again, and set 8118 as the parent.  I still wasn't having any luck until I changed Squid to transparent mode and eliminated the NAT rule to 8118.

Now things seem to be working, but I'm running Squid when I don't think I should need to for a Privoxy only setup.

I get the following error when trying to start privoxy:
Starting privoxy.
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpcre.so.0" not found, required by "privoxy"

Has anyone else had this?  What did you do to resolve the issue?

thanks
