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. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Eric Stanfield, K2Access Keno Kozie Associates 222 N LaSalle #1500 Chicago, IL 60606 (312) 332-3000 "Jeremy Buckner" > cc: Sent by: Subject: Content Filtering owner-freebsd-isp@F reeBSD.ORG 02/06/2002 09:34 AM 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.
