Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear FreeBSD, I'm relatively new to Unix. A good friend of mine has converted me to FreeBSD, and I'm enjoying it. I do have a question- as the administrator of a small network, I'm wondering if it's possible to set up FreeBSD on a box and have it perform filtering of pornography. I realise that I can set up a FreeBSD box to perform packet filtering (although I still need to figure out how to do that, exactly). But I'd like to prohibit nodes on our network from viewing pornographic material, and a few other general websites. I do not have an external 'router' per se - We have an ISDN connection to our ISP (which does not provide filtering). I've looked at available hardware designed specifically for spam and porn filtering for networks, but the price of the hardware is too high for my small network of 15 nodes and 2 servers. Any suggestions? -- Clayton Tycksen Network Administrator Zoll & Tycksen, LC tel (801) 685-7800 ext 15 fax (801) 685-7808 cell (801) 913-2208 text msg: help@ztlaw.com ******************************************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
