Supports site blocking, image file handling, cookie blocking, header filtering, HTML and Java abuse etc.
Once set up you just need to configure the client browsers to use your privoxy server as a web proxy. Simple to do manually but complicated to automate. Once it's working you can block browsers from bypassing the proxy at the Internet gateway - either your Suse box or your router.
P.S. Tell your users what's happening BEFORE you cut off their unrestricted access - they tend to get rather upset!
