NAME
       DansGuardian2 - web content filter

SYNOPSIS
       dansguardian [ -c config-file ] [ -v ] [ -h ] [ -N ] [ -q ] [ -Q ] [ -s
       ] [ -r ] [ -g ]

SUMMARY
       DansGuardian is a web content filtering	proxy(1)  for  Linux,  NetBSD,
       FreeBSD,	 OpenBSD,  and Solaris that uses Squid(2) to do all the fetch‐
       ing.

       It filters using multiple methods. These methods include URL and domain
       filtering,  content phrase filtering, PICS filtering, MIME type filter‐
       ing, file extension filtering, POST limiting and content (AV) scanning.

       The content phrase filtering will check for pages that contain profani‐
       ties  and  phrases often associated with pornography and other undesir‐
       able content.  The POST filtering allows you  to	 block	or  limit  web
       uploads.	 The URL and domain filtering is able to handle huge lists and
       is significantly faster than squidGuard.

       Content scanning enables downloaded content to be passed through ClamD,
       KAVD,  any local program with machine-parseable console output, and any
       other AV scanner available as an ICAP server.

       The filtering has configurable domain, user  and	 source	 IP  exception
       lists.	SSL  tunneling	is  supported;	however,  due to the encrypted
       nature of HTTPS requests, filtering is only  supported  on  destination
       domain.	 The  configurable  logging  produces a log in an easy to read
       format which has the option to only log the text-based pages, thus sig‐
       nificantly  reducing  redundant	information  such  as every image on a
       page.

       DansGuardian is under continuous development and so it is best to visit
       the web site for the latest information.

	(1)  Technically DansGuardian is more of a filtering pass-through than
       a true proxy - but don't let that worry you!

	(2) DansGuardian should work with any proxy, not just Squid. For exam‐
       ple, it is known to work with Oops.

OPTIONS
       -c config-file
	      Use the given config-file.

       -v     gives the version number and build options.

       -h     Output a short summary of available command line options.

       -N     Do not go into the background.

       -q     causes DansGuardian to kill any running copy.

       -Q     kill any running copy AND start a new one with current options.

       -s     shows the parent process PID and exits.

       -r     closes all connections and reloads config	 files	by  issuing  a
	      HUP,  but	 this  does  not reset the maxchildren option (amongst
	      others).

       -g     gently restarts by not closing  all  current  connections;  only
	      reloads filter group config files. (Issues a USR1)
