Hi <font face="Arial" size="2">Craig,</font><br>
<br>
What Chad said and..<br>
<br>
We did a careful analysis of the minimum needed to add DansGuardian
to our system.<br>
<br>
Accordingly, we decided we could just increase memory and do the
install/upgrade.<br>
No subscription.<br>
<br>
Our grant was under $1,600.<br>

You're absolutely correct. According to the website, DansGuardian
is Open Source Software licensed under the GPL version 2 and is
downloadable from the website at no cost for non-commercial use.<br>
<br>
I think of computers as being a three legged stool. One leg is
hardware; one leg is software; and one leg is technical services
(configuration/support time). Aside from using virtual machines
and maybe thin clients in strategic locations, hardware has to be
paid for. If you're knowledgeable in whatever it is you need to
configure/support, you might be able to reduce the cost of
technical services to just the cost of your own time. Software is
about the only cost we can truly eliminate in some select cases.<br>
<br>
To answer your question: The software may be free, but there is
still two other legs of the stool to pay for.<br>
<br>
Also, you mentioned block list subscriptions. Personally, I've
found that it works perfectly fine (great, even) without
additional subscription-based block lists. I wouldn't bother
unless you set it up and find the basic system lacking. Give it a
try; I think you'll be happy with the results!<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
Chad<br>

looks like it should be free for library use (non profit,

OPLIN provide financial assistance for? The server, or did

Nothing will be perfect, but we settled on IPcop with
DansGuardian.<br>
<br>
The OPLIN Internet Filtering Assistance Program grant provided
us the opportunity to replace our filtering with DansGuardian.<br>
<br>
Level 9 Networks implemented it as an IPcop firewall add-on on
a Sunday in Feb 2009.<br>
It was running the next day (Monday) we opened.<br>
<br>
Has worked very well for us.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"> 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?<o:p></o:p></p>
