I would like to know where you read that...

The FAQ says that it is free.  ufdbGuard is Open Source Software and free to use.
You can use any text-based database _or_ opt for a license to the URL database of www.URLfilterDB.com

seems you are looking for ufdbguard.
About "no reconfigure": ufdbGuard also needs to reconfigure when the config file or the URL database changes.
However, ufdbGuard reconfigures faster and without interrupting the proxy, so during a short interval
there is a functional proxy without filter.
