[itdiscuss] Content Filtering

[Dan Barber]

Has anyone found a reliable way of blocking “bad” videos on YouTube and the like without blocking YouTube entirely?

What you do to set it up is to set your DHCP server to set the workstation IPs for their DNS.  So, at home I set the router so it issues a static DNS rather than dynamic.  Actually, at home I also set the DNS for the router to be OpenDNS’s IP.  If you don’t have a static IP for your network, then you setup dynamic DNS using their service.

If you go to their website they have instructions on setting up several different routers.  A friend of mine told me about OpenDNS.  We actually setup our Church with the same thing.

I think I will try it at home. Did you use it for your router? Can you give me the quick and dirty on how it works? I am totally blown away by all the folks who said they use it! And I have never heard of it!

Ditto on OpenDNS.  We use it at work and I've set it up at home.

Same for us. OpenDNS… works great.

Ditto on opendns … been using it over a year … free is great! Not as granular as other solutions though, but fits our needs currently.

For free we love using OpenDNS.  It does what we want it to and works well.  The price is right, too. :-)

Folks,
It is time for our Content Filtering renewal. I am looking into various options, since prices have gone up on our current subscription (SonicWall). What do you use? What do you like/dislike about it?

Is anyone using the Barracuda Content Filter? Websense (Express)?

I want to accomplish two things:

 *   Keep things secure for our elementary school
 *   Avoid having a proxy server

Thanks for your thoughts!
