I'm looking for one of two things; Either a way I can set clamav to scan incoming packets, or a virus scanner that can. Is that possible?
I'm running an ubuntu server with shorewall and squid.
Well that's cool. For some reason I keep expecting it to take more configuration then what its taking....
A side question, however; what is the point to using dansguardian? What can it do that squid can't? I've got squid set up as a transparent proxy right now.
I haven't really used any of this stuff, I just googled for your problem and came up with that solution. But from what I've read, Dansguardian appears to be a web content filter that uses blacklists, phrase matching, and other methods combined together. I'm not sure what squid's capabilities are so I can't speak as to whether or not this is an improvement.
