Download DansGuardian 2.9.9.0 beta

Unfortunately, DansGuardian does not help you improve or manage your dance steps, but it does help you filter internet content. Several methods are used for filtering, so that you can search by url, domain, content phrase, pics, mime and file extensions. In addition, it can filter and limit postal data that users send out. For more information, we refer you to this page. The developers recently released beta version 2.9.9.0 and provided the following list of changes:

Version 2.9.9.0 beta:

• Fix settings validation to allow maxcontentfiltersize to be set to 0.
• Tidy up option data types (hexdecodecontent, forcequicksearch and usecustombannedimage are now “on”/”off” instead of 1/0).
• Tweak exception logging (logexceptionhits now has 3 supported values).
• Improved preemptive blocking for HTTPS requests.
• Altered blanket block implementation to also allow blanket exception & gray domain/URL list matching (eg you can have allow everything).
• Added exceptionfileurllist in addition to exceptionfilesitelist.
• Added outgoing HTTP header blocking & modification.
• Added optional domain and URL lists for categorization without blocking.
• Enabled TCP_NODELAY on all TCP sockets to work around a performance hit with persistent connections.
• Improved phrase loading code to allow null bytes in phrases. Should allow for support of phrases in encodings such as UTF-16.

Version 2.9.8.5 beta:

• Fix behavior of maxcontent* settings when set to zero (“cascading” values).
• Don’t allow daemon to start with maxcontent* settings all zero.
• tweak config. validation to better check for allowed values.

• Minor cleanups in string class.
