We should make it clear that we are deprecating URL filtering with SquidGuard, not the whole web proxy service.

When/If doing so it would be great if the docs would suggest for alternative methods to achieve the same thing.

For example if a variant of whats explained in https://lev-0.com/2024/05/03/making-vyos-an-application-aware-firewall-using-nprobe/ can be used as a substite when the URL-filtering capabilities of VyOS goes poff?
