Hi all --
I'm looking at setting up a RedHat Linux 7.2-based squid proxy server with squidguard for a relatively small network. I'm mostly interested in content filtering (we run children's programs, so we need to block out adult content as best we can), not so much proxy service, but I can't seem to figure out just how much muscle I'll need. What I've seen in the documentation has been sort of vague or describing the needs for an environment somewhat more demanding than mine.
I'm working with a network consisting of about 200 machines having Internet access over 256K DSL. Naturally, not all of these machines will be on or accessing the Internet all of the time (I'd estimate no more than 40-50% usage at peak times), but I'd like to figure out a worst-case scenario.
I'm in a not-for-profit environment with an IT budget of $0, so I'm looking to see if it's feasible to do anything with what I've got floating around right now.
Thanks in advance for any help/pointers/advice.
Don
