    Internet Censorship/Filtering

    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.

    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.

    Most router will allow you to block sites and will keep a log.

    We use Microsoft ISA Server 2004 at school to log/filter websites students visit, plus it's a firewall, proxy server, an excellent solution.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    DansGuardian is nice, but its unix/linux only. And I dont have time to set up a suse server at the moment. And Watchguard has url filtering, but I dont see anything about a content filter.

    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.
    but...SuSE...no way...don't install all that bs, just install a stripped version of something (i.e. slack,fc4, or just smoothwall perhaps :0) and install guardian, logsmod...

    wouldn't recommend all that m$ fun.

    Re: Internet Censorship/Filtering

    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)
