Yeah the Watchguard is nice, they recently expanded to being able to block 40 sites..The downsides for me are.
1. You have to install an SSO agent on the server (Single Signon) to integrate with AD, or you use a java applet you have to keep open to authenticate if you wish to apply different policies to users. 2. I don't like having an all in one appliance perform all functions.. 3. Iprism is much easier to manage, more configurable, flexible, etc.. Filtering is best in the industry in my opinion.. 4. Reporting in IPRISM is easy, also interactive and customizable reports within the application. Then save off to HTML, PDF, etc.. 5. Watchguard while good, requires a dedicated management machine with logging to pull all the reports.

We block other stuff though.

The concern is a legal one, and I fully understand. So, is there software that wil just block porn sites in general? Is there software to monitor our staff workstations that access porn sites and report it to the administrator (me)? Also, is there software that monitors email for porn content?
