A client of mine asked for a proxy and an analyser for the results. This because their site is in use 24/7 and they wanted to verify if all traffic is legal/SFW.

So we quickly decided to go for squid, I set it up against their AD so only users that are in their domain could access the web. The easy part was changing the browser settings as they can only surf through Citrix.

As analyser we tested a few that are listed on the squid website but only one passed the bar for the client. And that's Surftrackr. A Django (jeej) based analyser that is clean and easy to use. The only negative point for that tool was it's non-compliance with Django > 1. I needed to install Django-0.96. That done the tool does it's job pretty well. I'm currently contemplating whether I'm going to pursue the creator and help him convert it to the latest Django version... I probably should do it, but my time schedule is cramped already.

I did some more goodies over there but that will be part of another post :p
