 A company in India called Office Efficiencies has a new Linux-based filtering gateway called Safe Squid.  The product is favorably reviewed by Linux.com: 

Despite a couple of minor flaws, SafeSquid’s ease of management, continuous development, and great forum support put this proxy at the top of my list. Although it costs to use some additional features and for user support, it is worth the money for features that match or exceed those of its competitors. SafeSquid’s features are comparable to those normally seen on Unified Threat Management (UTM) boxes that cost thousands of dollars. With SafeSquid, you only need a low-end box (around $200 for a Pentium 4 with 1GB RAM), the SafeSquid edition (cost depends on users and functionalities), and the subscription, which can be less than the usual UTM subscription price. Best of all, for small offices with 20 or fewer users, most of SafeSquid’s features are free. 

Sounds like a good fit for economy-minded school districts. 

I added to my database (now 40+ companies) selling filtering worldwide.

I wonder if their database is developed in India?  I’ve wondered why more filtering companies don’t outsource their human-review of websites to India – seems like a natural.  Or maybe they already are, and they just don’t publicize it?
