How do I block web pages/sites? Is squid what I should use?

If this should be in software, then please move this thread there.

A few years ago an old friend of mine and I were playing around with some software that I believe was called squid. He was able to block anyone on his network to entering certain sites. I cannot seem to do this with my recent installation of squid (through synaptic). Is there a web address I should go to much like TeamSpeak where I can tune my squid? Is squid the right program for this job, or could it have been something else that I have seen?

Yes squid guard will do that what you want. Download the latest version here:

http://www.squidguard.org/

Here's a config file you can view:

And if needed.. an installation howto:

I believe the last link is the best one.. it has a lot of info that you should read.

good luck,

I am having a problem. I downloaded squidGaurd via synaptic and after I went through the sgaurd howto I came to a problem...

... when I try to reconfigure my squid (# squid -k reconfigure) it spews out the following...

Code:

root@georgescomp1:/etc/squid# squid -k reconfigure
squid: ERROR: Could not send signal 1 to process 19813: (3) No such process
root@georgescomp1:/etc/squid#

... if I just do

Code:

 # squid

, I get the following...

Code:

root@georgescomp1:/etc/squid# squid
FATAL: redirect_program /usr/bin/squidGaurd: (2) No such file or directory
Squid Cache (Version 2.5.STABLE10): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 0.005 seconds = 0.001 user + 0.004 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB
Page faults with physical i/o: 0
Aborted
root@georgescomp1:/etc/squid#

I'm not too sure what I should give, I'll will be uploading my config files to my server but in a few minutes. I'll post links afterwards.
