Hi Walu, Earlier versions of Dansgurdian filter content by matching the url using the domain name so all i have to do to circumvent the whole setup would be find the ip for my favourite banned site and am through then there's the other case of external proxies .Hope that helps Regards Sammy Njoroge Andicom Solutions www.andicom.co.ke > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:32:13 -0700 (PDT) > From: Walubengo J <jwalu(a)yahoo.com> > To: skunk <skunkworks(a)my.co.ke> > Subject: [Skunkworks] help: squid+dansgaurdian setup compromised. > Message-ID: <840541.39134.qm(a)web57802.mail.re3.yahoo.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > hey, > > I have a basic traditional NAT setup of squid+dansguardian on Linux Ubuntu > 8.10.

Balance Brought Forward? Never! - Mobile Data Services
by Odhiambo ワシントン 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hello Skunks, On Safaricom 3G (or any other data service for that matter) if you do not exhaust the bundle in 30 days, and if you do not reload (buy more bundle) before the expiry of the 30 days then you lose all portion of bundle that you never got to use. I've been buying 1GB bundles (KES 2,499) and sometimes by the end of the calendar month, I still have like 300MB remaining which then just disappears into Safaricom's coffers. 1GB at 2500 means KES 2.5/MB. Losing 300MB means I forfeit KES 750 to safaricom and my line is still active! Why is it so difficult for Safaricom to let customers use all the bundle they buy by bringing the balance forward??? In the same breath, if you purchased N amount of data bundle from Safaricom while you have KES X.00 as available credit on your line, upon depletion of the N bundle, Safaricom will allow you to continue to use their data services while charging you at KES 8.00/MB on your available KES X.00 credit. This is my experience, using a prepaid line. Is it just me who finds this immoral? Does YU and Orange behave the same way? Alex (Gakuru), I need protection from safaricom :-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Skunkers Why dont we have a blog? Why dont we have a forum like http://www.ipmart-forum.com/ Those boards bring good money. Lets not stick to the age old Listserve because its limited and boring and many wont contribute. You will find that in this list, only around 10% of the members contribute because otehrs feel safe when the keep mum My 2 cents Theus

Announcing; Skunkworks Mailing List Etiquette
by Phares Kariuki 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

The skunkworks list brings together the technology community in Kenya and beyond. The subscribers to the list have diverse background. Participation in the list, like participation in any community, requires a common basis for communication. These basic rules of etiquette hopefully will help keep our communications civil and useful. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ **** What constitutes inappropriate posting? **** -> Personal Attacks, discrimination based on race, tribe, age, or anything really are frowned upon and not allowed. -> Obsenities are not allowed. -> Thread hijacks are not allowed. -> Spam is not allowed. Unsolicited marketing of products is not allowed. Products can only be mentioned in response to requests for information/products/service **** What is proper etiquette when composing new messages **** -> Not everyone on the list uses a high speed connection to read mail. If you need to include the contents of a file, it would be prudent to put that information on a website somewhere (use the Skunkworks Bulletin Board (( http://my.co.ke/phpbb) for instance) and paste the URL within your message. -> Please format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DO NOT SHOUT!!!!! -> Many of us do not have English as our first language, so let us avoid criticizing each other for spelling or grammatical errors. -> For OFF TOPIC messages, please use the Skunkworks Bulletin Board ( http://my.co.ke/phpbb) The list is meant for technology related discussions, so anything else is OFF TOPIC. **** What is proper etiquette when replying to existing messages **** -> Please include relevant text from the original message. Condense the message to a size that does not lose the gist of the original message. -> Consider using some means to identify which text came from the original message from your text. Many of us prepend the “>” to the original message, which makes it more legible. -> Please avoid top posting. Illustrated: a3: Please. q3: Should I avoid top posting on this mailing list? a2: Because, by reversing the order of a conversation, it leaves the reader without much context, and makes them read a message in an unnatural order. q2: Why is top posting irritating? a1: It is the practice of putting your reply to a message before the quoted message, instead of after the (trimmed) message. q1: What is top posting? (Thanks to Ashok :) ) **** Enforcement **** For inappropriate posts, the following set of actions will be taken: -> First offending post - Public warning, no further action taken -> Second offending post - Public warning, Poster placed on moderation for 1 week -> Final offending post - Public warning, Poster permanently banned from list The Skunkworks online forum is here: (http://my.co.ke/phpbb) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ First Revision - Aug 2009 -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki(a)gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares |
