NAME
       e2guardian2 - web content filter

SYNOPSIS
       e2guardian [ -c config-file ] [ -v ] [ -h ] [ -N	] [ -q ] [ -Q ]	[ -s ]
       [ -r ] [	-g ]

SUMMARY
       e2guardian  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 up-
       loads.  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 na-
       ture of HTTPS requests, filtering is only supported on destination  do-
       main or with SSL	MITM configuration.  The configurable logging produces
       a  log  in  an easy to read format which	has the	option to only log the
       text-based pages, thus  significantly  reducing	redundant  information
       such as every image on a	page.

       e2guardian  is  under continuous	development and	so it is best to visit
       the web site for	the latest information.

	(1) Technically	e2guardian is more of a	filtering pass-through than  a
       true proxy - but	don't let that worry you!

	(2)  e2guardian	 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 e2guardian	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 re-
	      loads filter group config	files. (Issues a USR1)
