In 8.100, it can be enabled with confd client, the node is http->sc_local_db. It takes one of the following arguments:
1) none - default, don't use local categorization at all (use TCP, as we did before) 2) disk - use local Database, but use it only on disk. Useful for boxes with little RAM, like 120/220 etc. – depending on the load of the box and how big the internet connection is, sacrifices might need to be made for disk I/O, (like logging/reporting) but I’ve not experienced a need for this on my own 120 at all. 3) mem - use local Database, and keep it in memory for faster access. Note that this option requires up to 1GB RAM on database reload, so this option should ONLY be used on larger boxes like 425/525/625 or you risk nuking a lower-memory box without sufficient resources.
After you have changed this setting, restart the http proxy with '/var/mdw/scripts/httpproxy restart'. The proxy should start to fetch the database. You can watch that in /var/chroot-http/var/pattern/sfcontrol. The database will be approx. 350MB in size when finished. After finishing the download the proxy should use the local database. Please be aware, during the download time while the database is being transferred, all CFF requests will currently fail, since the proxy immediately tries to use the not-yet-downloaded database and until it is downloaded you get errors (this is a known bug, but hey, beta feature!). So depending on the line speed of the client and how long it will take them to download the 350MB of data, they will have a surfing outage.
Hope this gives you something you can use for now.
Hi,
This feature is indeed planned for 8.200, however its also available in 8.100 as an unofficial easter-egg for some early testing. You are welcome to give it a whirl.
Hello Angelo,
I have a question about content filtering function. Some months ago I read in the userbb that ASG runs a query for each category to block. Could you please clarify how it works?
another question: you omitted 320, it can use ram database cf or not?
