[itdiscuss] Content Filtering

[Jason Hand]

I take care of IT for a school and we are now using Smoothwall 3.0  
Opensource with Dansguardian filtering and OpenDNS as well.  It is  
working extremely well and with SARG reporting I can see where  
everyone went and who tried to go where they weren't supposed to.

I agree with Darin though that any network should go through OpenDNS  
for it's filtering and Anti-Phishing capability and it will soon  
include Anti-botnet functions.

If you would like to know more about Smoothwall just let me know and I  
can show you the one in production at the school.

Your brother in Christ,
Jason
