I've been researching firewall/proxy software or Linux-based system for a small school serving 300 students. It's been a bit frustrating that there seems to be very little information on this topic relating to schools. Since schools are required by CIPA/COPA/ERATE to put these safeguards in place, you think that there would be more information on this topic.
I search eschoolnews.com, which is constantly pushing their Resource Center, but the most recent article on the topic was from 1999. (Maybe when I get some more knowledge in this area, my blog can be a useful resource for someone facing similar issues.)
We will be replacing our current Windows 2000 Server (ISA 2004 firewall with SurfControl plugin for web content filtering) with a Linux box. So here is my question...
Will the firewall/proxy on Red Hat Linux (for example) with DansGuardian be an adequate replacement for the current server or is there something more robust we need to consider?
If anyone has an answer to this, please respond in the comments. Thanks!
