Anyone know of a good program that can filter/censor web contents? And possibly send a log via email every time someone attempts to view un-acceptable material?
It's for my work, and some of these people.... oh nevermind.

Boo on censorpship down with Ratings!!
Rated 'R' for Retarded
We use WatchGuard here. Seems to work pretty well. It has a little more then censorship though. It also acts as our proxy and firewall.
Its not censorship. You have no right to access anything you want using a company owned computer on a companies paid for internet connection.Quote:

We use Microsoft ISA Server 2004 at school to log/filter websites students visit, plus it's a firewall, proxy server, an excellent solution.

Websense and Lightspeed might work for you and both are designed for enterprise filtering. Websense is a better product (in my opinion) but costs more that most.
Take the time. It will be worth it.Quote:

wouldn't recommend all that m$ fun.
The best way to do it would be via a router that controls the internet connection. My netgear router has these features built in and also includes email reports. I'm sure any router at a company (therefor business grade (I hope, at least)) should have these same features. I know many Cisco routers include them (and you can program your own to add to the Cisco router)
