HOWTO: Install Dansguardian on a single desktop

An update. I seem to have gotten it working. I hadn't set up the proxy settings in Firefox properly. I still don't know what the nature of those Firehol errors are though.

Hello,

working great for me! but..

firehol seems to be blocking port 64294 that I use for Azureus, I get NAT\Firewall warning on Azureus. If I do sudo firehol stop, Azureus starts working fine. How can I open port 64294? Is there something to add on:

iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 3128 -m owner ! --uid-owner dansguardian -j DROP

from the /etc/firehol/firehol.conf file?

Opening that port could cause any problems for the filtering?

thanks

Your how-to worked great, thank you!! The only hitch I ran into was that the Ubuntu forums got blocked!:( Easy fix, just added it to the exceptions list. I'd like a gui too so I'm going to try webmin as another user pointed out. Wonderful how-to thanks again!!:KS

I've tried reading all the posts here, and I may have missed it.

Is there a way to block anon proxies? I know to lock firefox preferences, and obviously they can't install opera or anything without admin password. Also, does the default block SSL or do I have to block all SSL and then whitelist like ssl I want?

Thanks for any help

Yea the ubuntu forums got blocked on me as well. Very strange, but whitelisted them.

Just how exactly do I use webmin as a frontend for dansguardian?
Thanks!

For some reason, this command:

Code:

---

iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 3128 -m owner ! --uid-owner dansguardian -j DROP

---

results in:

Code:

---

iptables:No chain/target/match by that name

---

I can remove the owner match and it works fine... Any ideas why I can't get the --uid-owner to work?

Thank you!! Brand new to Linux (3 days now).;) Running Ubuntu 8.10. After 15 syntax errors got it rolling lol. 10 mins total. Haven't tweaked DG at all yet but it seems to do remarkably well already.

Am I right that my son will not be able to tamper with the filter (disable/configure) without the administrator password that I used to install the aps?

Also, are my ports secure with this setup? I know very little about networking and just want to make sure that I'm secure with this setup.

Edit: I figured out my original question but now I have more.

How do you limit the users that are filtered? I edited the user exception file to add the usernames that don't need filtering and they were still filtered. IT says that authentication is necessary, but I don't know what that means.

Also, I can no longer run ushare to stream media to my xbox 360. Any ideas?

Hi,

I did follow all the instruction and everything work alright :). However, there a few websites (this is one of them) that are blocked and download files are impossible when is running. So I unistalled, restarted just to write this post looking for an answer. My question is how to configure dansquardian to blocked your pornography or is there anything that i can do to access the websites that are need.

This computer that I am using is the one running dansguarding is connecting to the internet through a router (home network). Any help, please will be greatly appreciated.
