We always put the burden of filtering on the client.  That said, any number
of firewall appliances out there have subscription based content filters
built-in and the Sonicwall and WatchGuard lines would probably have
something that would fit a school's budget.  Given that it takes 10 minutes
to configure and a monkey can maintain it, it might be a better fit than a
bsd solution.  My 2 cents.

Can anyone recommend a content filtering package for Internet ISPs? We have
been approached by an
(un-named religious) school that wants our Internet services but also wants
some sort of active
content filtering for all the usual stuff (porn, music, and anything else
they see fit). Price is an
issue and of course we are wanting to run it on a FreeBSD platform. Any
recommendations? I have
never had to do this before so I guess in this field I am a newbie. I
searched briefly in the ports
but didn't see anything.

Thanks,
Jeremy Buckner
