Hello folks,


I am looking for a good and simple proxy that will allow me to filter  
peer to peer on my FBSD box - knowing that I have a firewall that  
already does the job of filtering outside connexions, but people are  
still using port 80 to download using P2P software.

As we have a very limited bandwidth - 512Kbps - and as the resources  
are very expensive - 5K$ / month - yes this is possible  It is  
actually in Angola !

So considering these figures I would like to install a proxy to filter  
all port 80 requests.


As I haven't been worknig with proxy since many years, I would like to  
follow good advice.
The last memories I had regarding proxy was using Squid //

I don't know if this is a good choice ??


Any pointer or how to will be welcome.
