I am not that familiar with websense; maybe somebody else can comment on
that. Squid alone is a web application (http) proxy that forwards and
caches client requests to origin servers (although it can also act as a
reverse proxy to speed up internet servers). Squid itself has no content
filter capabilities, but you can use add-on software for content
filtering. If you install squid on a machine with direct internet
access, you will have to secure this machine with a firewall. How this
can be done depends on the operating system you want to use - squid runs
on a variety of unix variants and on Windows. But to really replace a
production websense server, you will need a bit of experience with
unix-style programs and internet security, or a consultant that does the
work for you - which you might be able to find via this list.

Hope this helps,
