UFDBGUARDD(8)

✨ UFDBGUARDD(8) ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about ufdbguardd — she's a whole queen from Release 1.35 and she's been out here since 22/03/2024 doing her thing 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ufdbguardd — a URL filter for the Squid web proxy 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ufdbguardd [ufdbguardd-options]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So ufdbguardd is, literally, a URL filter for the Squid web proxy. That's her job. That's her whole main character energy.

But here's the tea 🍓: Squid does not use the term "URL filter". Squid calls it a URL rewriter. Same vibe, different name, iykyk. Don't get confused when you see it in the config, bestie, they're talking about the same girl.

Also, like — ufdbguardd is normally not called from the command line. She's not that kind of girl. She gets launched by a system initialisation script, because that's how the grown-ups do it. 🙈

And there's more ✨ There exists an extensive Reference Manual for ufdbGuard, with whole sections for installation and configuration. So if you need the deep lore, it's out there. No cap.

💀 AUTHOR 💀

okay so history time, because this part is actually iconic:

ufdbGuard 1.0 was based on squidGuard 1.2.0. Some code of the original squidGuard was removed, while a lot of code was added by URLfilterDB. Glow-up arc, fr fr. 🔥
