Hi, First thx for quick responses. As Kurt suggests I know Squid is one of the best options. Yet as Phillip mentions with the amount of HD space I have, using Squid in combination of the cron jobs to regain HD space I agree the loss of performance will be less then the gain of control :-(. For the add blocking I thought of using ipchains as it mentions in the HOW-TO to gain space. For the Internet connection it is currently ADSL with 256/64 serving 4 PC's and in about 2 weeks time cable modem with 1024/256 will be added, expect more questions on firewalling dual routes :-), That was one of my condiderations of thinking about "tinyproxy". I never thought about Apache and I will have a look into it. What about Dante to be used for http proxying? -- Togan Muftuoglu
