Hey, There are many solutions for these however it depends on couple things. The first thing is the parental and kids/children/others cooperation. Ie if the kids know and want to use the solution. I believe that parenting starts based on understanding that there is a Threat out there. Today it’s the same thing like fire and other hazards awareness. If the kids/children/others in the house doesn’t believe that there is a threat it is the obligation of the parents and ( I have seen many adults which doesn’t believe even after they have been hit.. Ie they have a virus on their PC or Mobile and they still believe that there is not issue. Even after these are being given a demo of what is being leaked from their PC and Mobile they don’t care. ) Lately I have seen couple new WIFI solutions(The old doesn’t work anymore..) which offers some parental control I don’t know if these can be compared to squid. I can just say that IDS and AV with squid would require some kind of customization and I believe that it’s worth It’s like riding a bicycle, if you will try to create one yourself… it depends on your “blacksmith” or “iron man” skills. To force the PC or the mobile would be different solution but they both require some application these days. On your LAN it will also depend on the cooperation. When you want to capture traffic on LAN it would probably be by the combination of MAC and IP. These two are both tied to one another… There are many devices these day who tries to dynamically assign mac address to avoid what you are trying to achieve. To overcome this you are probably better use one of these below (or more..):
I have implemented the above solutions on both a Linux device and Mikrotik. Currently I am using Mikrotik Router which does all of the above else then the filtering itself which I am using (…No hard feelings with the Squid project) All The Bests, Eliezer ---- Eliezer Croitoru Tech Support Mobile: +972-5-28704261 Email: ngtech1ltd@xxxxxxxxx Zoom: Coming soon From: squid-users <squid-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Wolfgang Paul Rauchholz I got two questions actualy. I want to re-direct all traffic certain users (parental control...) through squid. (1) What i the best possibility to do so independently of whether they are on the LAN or are outside home? (2) If I only want to re-direct when they are on the LAN; can I do this by capturing the MAC address of their devices? Thank you! |
