I'm currently using ClarkConnect Community Edition at home but there a few things it can't do (as far as I can tell). A few questions are
[LIST=1]
- Is there an Astaro Community edition (e.g. free for home use)
- Is there a way to build a GROUP which identifies devices (e.g. kids computers) such that you can ENABLE/DISABLE internet access in one hit for the group? But, ensuring this takes into access web access too (issue with CC is that this doesn't cut web access as PCs go via the transparent proxy). So can Astaro do an "all in one" disable all internet access for a GROUP including web & non-web traffic?
- Time based internet access? Can Astaro effectively carry out time based access specified at the GROUP level, but as per the question above, include access from a given device for both (a) web access - which would be going through a filtering proxy, and (b) non-web access such as Xbox traffic, in one hit?
- Are there free blacklist/content filter updates available? (for ClarkConnect these cost extra)
- Is there a way to get a report on internet usage (albeit web or non-web access) per each internal device (e.g. PC, Xbox etc) per day? (CC doesn't have this, even with some of the round-robin-database addon's and all the reports they have I've still found nothing that gives me this simple internet usage per day per internal device)
- Just confirming Astaro can run a transparent web proxy (i.e. all internal devices get forced through the proxy) with content filtering?
- I assume Astaro would be easy to install on an old PC I have, using an ISO based approach? And then Astaro would handle updating itself?
- Assume Astaro can be installed as a Linux distribution? i.e. it's linux underneath? which flavor of linux?
thanks
