What is SquidGuard Manager

SquidGuard Manager is a Perl CGI Web GUI for squidGuard and SquidClamav administration. It allow full administration of SquidGuard blocklist and ACLs. You can also manage graphicaly your SquidClamav configuration.

This program support all configurations directives of SquidGuard and SquidClamav without intrusive modification, i-e you can still edit the configuration files by hand before and after using SquidGuard Manager.

Why SquidGuard Manager

Well some peoples not regular with the famous VI ask me to be able to manage SquidGuard blocklists from a GUI, after spending some time to search such a tool I only found the Webmin interface which is really not what I was expecting. I decide to write my own in Perl.
