[squid-users] [icap] Web Safety 6.4 web filter plugin for Squid proxy is available

[Rafael Akchurin]

Greetings everyone,

Next version of Web Safety web filter for Squid proxy (version 6.4.0.2517 built on July 5, 2108) is now available for download.
This version contains the following fixes and improvements:


  *   YouTube Guard filtering daemon now runs as a separate process. This allows to filter traffic by both Google Safe Browsing and YouTube restriction modules at the same time.
  *   UI of YouTube filtering rules is completely rewritten, it is now possible to selectively filter YouTube videos by policies (enable for students, disable for staff).
  *   Fixed error in policy filtering exclusions by remote domain IP address.
  *   Added initial support for Ubuntu 18 LTS and Squid 4 (full support will be added in Web Safety 6.5)
  *   Added advanced field to manually manage additions to NIC management file /etc/network/interfaces on Ubuntu 16 and Debian 9.
  *   Builds for FreeBSD(pfSense) are not produced any more, please use version 6.3 if you require running Web Safety on FreeBSD(pfSense). We are now trying to build a separate product for pfSense platform.

Pre-configured virtual appliance is available from https://www.diladele.com/virtual_appliance.html (can be run in VMWare ESXi/vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V).
The same virtual appliance can be easily deployed in Microsoft Azure with the following link https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/diladele.websafety?tab=Overview
