Does anyone know of a Linux firewall that offers layer 8 firewall / user level firewalling? Cyberoam (http://www.cyberoam.com/firewall.html) has a layer 8 firewall built into their UTM firewalls, and while it's a great product I find it a bit limited for what I want.
I basically want to track which user access what on the internet, from an internal network. Ideally I want to limit access to certain objects (i.e. websites, by URL / keyword / type, FTP, skype, MSN, etc) for certain users as well.
Maybe use squid with authentication and acls...? And caching as a bonus...
