Can one actually load Content Filtering on MT?

RouterOS General

I doubt this is possible, but I wonder if there is a way to run Dansguardian on MT?

I would love to see some sort of content filtering option available for a MT box running on normal PC hardware.

As I understand it right now the MT box can do transparent proxy with Squid. Is squid loaded on the MT box? Or is that just pushed to a squid box from MT?

Yup, you can install the proxy by uploading the web-proxy-.npk package to your router and rebooting it.

Okay, I didn’t know you could filter by URL with the web proxy.

Not quite as good as Dans Guardian, but should be able to implement Utah’s new (and obnoxious) legislation requiring ISP’s to implement their filter list upon customer request.
