<div class="IPBDescription">I summon your help!</div> Alright, I'm moving into what is, in effect, a Christian frat house in the next month or so. Said frat house has had some issues in the past with online materials that, shall we say, are not very Christian-like.
Now, they've been using Cyber-sitter, but that's a real pain, since it blocks things that don't need to be blocked at all. We'd really like to not have any sort of filter on there, but only a logging bit set up so that we can get a log of what was accessed when and by what logon.
My plan was to set up my computer as a gateway, and then get some sort of program to log all the net traffic, then run something else to scan it for keywords and the like.
I have a few questions:
1) Is this possible?
2) Is this the most efficient method for this sort of thing?
3) Are there any existing programs that would help me do this sort of thing without having to code it myself or draft one of you into coding it for me?
If this kind of thing were easyer on looon-eeex, I could set up a crappy box to do that with no problems, but would need a detailed tutorial on the procedure to get that running.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah having my own opinion that dosen't follow the norm there is such a great reason to be banned from it, grow up, and dont dare accuse me of trolling when you couldn't help but dip into that same realm.
Anyway on topic, I don't understand why you'd want to filter your own traffic, as I was saying, free will works wonders...
you didnt mention which platform you used...
you can also use big brother.....
Legionnaired; putting your computer as a residential gateway should work fine, I've seen it done before. I don't know what the usual setup is, but one question: how many computers do you expect to connect to yours? You don't want to create some sort of choke point. Though I don't think you'll have that problem.
Someone's been going on Xbox-Scene a little too much <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Yes, it's easy to do this with Linux. It's also easy to avoid, if people behind the gateway understand a little thing called 'proxies', and you aren't REGEX matching the text on each page. Which is worthless, as it'll provide false hits, and do jack squat for images. Oh, and can be negated with a secure stream proxy. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Best solution is to be mature adults, and realize that everyone looks at porn. ESPECIALLY those who are vocally against it.
I'm kind of siding with CWAG here though, surely the point is to fight temptation, not ignore it.
Besides which, a little bit of self love a) keeps you happier and healther and b) is hardly dependant on the internet. Anyone who's feeling horny will... er get it out of their system whether they have eye candy or not.
Where theres a will there's a whack.
Just avoid the stuff with nuns
Someone would have to manually analyze the log to find violators, though a text search would significantly reduce the work involved. They would also have to verify and compile the list of violations for the next prayer circle, so that these people are given an opportunity to repent for their sins. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Or, even better, post the classic "every time you masterbate, god kills a kitten"

The repercussions could be devastating.
