n00b needs Squid info


OK, have used proxy settings whitelist in Moz 1.6 or Konqueror to restrict surfing for young kids which works fine. Problem is that links from those "accepted " sites are blocked and rapidly becomes apparent that it would take too long to list all allowable links.

1. Is there a way to set proxy to allow links from accepted sites?

2. Tried to install DansGuardian. Long story short, I trashed my urpmi and perl files. Tried to delete and reinstall urpm and perl......no luck so finally reinstalled OS (thankfully saved /home part).
3. Now leary of installing DansG so installed SquidGuard successfully, but fairly lost about the whole config thing. I guess I'll figure it out, but how do I access it from :
GUI?
CL?
Is it built into mozilla?
i don't see it on menu

4. Any thoughts on Squid, SquidGuard, DansGuardian. From what I've read, I like the idea of content filtering in DG.

Thanks

IMHO, you should try and work your issues out with DansGuardian... i think it's well worth it... personally, i've been using it in cybercafe-like environments with great results... i use it with squid in transparent mode...
