Q:
I know there are some open source solutions, but i want to know if SLES 9 or OES has something buit in or packaged.
I need it to do content filtering with the abiility to block urls and to share an Internet connection. Something like iptables, but more advanced.
A:
Squid is a proxy for http and https protocols, along with ftp, if used via. a browser. You can
block web access with a large variety of definitions: URLs, time, users, etc..
Have a look here for more info.
SLES 9 contains squid so you don't have to compile it on your own.
Also, squid can't do content filtering. To do content filtering you may want to try DansGuardian. Dansguardian is *not* free for commercial use. See Web site for more details.
