[OPLINTECH] CIPA Compliance:

[Craig Heaton]

Hello, I'm curious about the Dansguardian product.  From looking at their website, it looks like it should be free for library use (non profit, governmental and/or educational institution).  What did OPLIN provide financial assistance for?  The server, or did you purchase a subscription for updates to the block list?  (Please pardon the intrusion, but we're preparing to renew our filter and I'm investigation more economical alternatives.)
Thank you!

  Nothing will be perfect, but we settled on IPcop with DansGuardian.

  The OPLIN Internet Filtering Assistance Program grant provided us the opportunity to replace our filtering with DansGuardian.

  Level 9 Networks implemented it as an IPcop firewall add-on on a Sunday in Feb 2009.
  It was running the next day (Monday) we opened.

  Has worked very well for us.

    Hi All,

        I am currently looking into CIPA compliance and am interested in the measures that those of you who are CIPA compliant, went through to become so. What are you using for filtering? Other aspects of the process? Personally, from "my" end, I'm really looking for info about open-source solutions. I understand that Squid is a possibility. Is anyone using Squid & say DansGuardian on linux? IpCop? Smoothwall? Others? Any advice in general?

    TIA
