look for squidguard. [1]
it integrates into squid very easily, allowing you to block access to
groups of sites, i.e. gambling, pr0n, etc. it can also be setup to
allow/deny access based on time of day, along with requiring a user to
authenticate first.
used in conjunction with a transparent squid proxy, and tight
firewalling rules, you can easily censor off large chunks of the
internet from those you perceive as being incapable of exerting self
control.
