Re: [squid-users] Email , VOIP , RDP with SQUID

Muhammad,

have you looked at ufdbGuard?
It is a free URL filter with time-based ACLs, ACLs for groups,
user-defined sets of URLs, support for free and commercial URL databases.
The only major item on your wishlist that ufdbGuard does not do,
is the delay pool, but that is something you can do with Squid.
