This way, NethServer is intact and its DNS is simply pointed at the filter. The next step was to re-instate DHCP services, yet, by then, I realised a better solution would be to install in a container: That, again, was reasonably trivial to install with nethserver-docker (portainer). I disabled NethServer dnsmasq, changed the nxfilter GUI ports and adjusted the firewall etc. It is fairly trivial using the RPMs IF you install (eg) webtop first - thanks to the webtop_team who have covered the installation of java etc dependencies. I did actually install it on a clean NethServer today. Thanks for setting up this feature discussion have used squid and web proxies in the past but moved to DNS filtering as I found it a more reliable way to categorise and block sites. Maybe we can re-use parts of those modules (for instance installing openjdk) we already have a few java based modules. We need to adapt those commands to the ‘NethServer way’ of adding services and opening ports.Īlso, NxFilter is a java application. The latest packages can be found here: RPM’s are available from a 3rd party repository: Īlso that howto mentions opening ports in the firewall. I found an install howto for centos7, but that howto uses an old repository to download the NxFilter RPM’s.

With squidguard you can add several blocklists so your users are ensured of a safe(er) internet experience.Īnother option would be to use NxFilter instead of squidguard. More than 1.At the moment the solution that is implemented for NethServer for filtering online content is SquidGuard. * Runs everywhere including Windows, Linux Easy install, easy setup, easy maintenance * Embedded webserver and embedded DB, built-in GUI
