Setting up Dansguarian parental filter as a transparent proxy in Ubuntu 9.10(karmic)

I have been wanting to setup a parental filter on Ubuntu for a long time. I tried a while ago and ran in to problems and put it off. But I got a bug in my bonnet and found a link that explains how to set it up as a transparent proxy so you don't have to change the proxy setting on all your browsers.

I liked his instructions so much I created a shell script that does them all in about 20 seconds.

Just download the script and save it in some directory. Then in a terminal cd to the directory where you saved it and type the following:

sudo bash dansguardian-transparent-config.sh

it should install the files need, edit the files, start the services and add the service to the init process.

Interestingly: after danguardian is running you cannot download the script. :)

Now anyone should be able to use Dan's guardian to protect their family. Now I need to learn how to analyze the logs and send notifications on interesting circumstances.
