Dear all I would like to set up a service which will automatically update the Squid proxy server's banned sites list. It would work using Concurrent Version System (CVS). Once a day, it would: - Get the current version of the banned sites list and update Squid. - Add any new sites which the school has added to their version of the list to the current version. - Remove any sites which the school has taken off their version of the list from the current version. This would offer all those taking part in the service "herd immunity". For example, suppose http://www.some.provider.net/~someone/hotstuff/ pops up and goes round one school. The Squid administrator would add that site to the banned list to prevent it being accessed any more. The next day, every other Squid server using the service would know about it too. I suggest this would be a great improvement on the existing clumsy filtering technologies which sometimes block access to acceptable sites (see: http://www.peacefire.org for story). Is there already a project like this up in the UK? Which schools using Squid would like to volunteer their facilities to help develop this? Would a pound a week per subscriber (for example) to cover hosting costs be an acceptable price to pay for accesss to this service? Please do all let me know. Best wishes Phil
