Re: BLOCING PORN SITES
WebSense is pricey, but we have it here running on one server with the reporting tied to our dedicated SQL server. It is very hands-off and does everything we expect it to. We have it integrated with Citrix though and the setup was a painYMMV 2009/3/30 gswe...@actsconsulting.net: Websense is good, but when we looked at it, it required 2 dedicated boxes, one DB engine and one proxy, and then reporting if it was heavy enough…Plus it was pricey..

RE: BLOCING PORN SITES
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.

RE: BLOCING PORN SITES
Twitter and Facebook are the new pr0n. Most pr0n in e-mail is blocked as spam, isn't it? I have a client who uses WebSense for website blocking and reporting and then uses anti-spam measures with Exchange, including content filtering with specific terms. Journaling or archiving can provide discovery options for certain pr0n messages that were not spam. Or even transport rules if you are using Exchange 2007 and looking for something specific.

Re: BLOCING PORN SITES
I don't remember the cost, but it was cheaper than the appliances when we purchased it. We ran it all on one box.

Our upline nodes use Websense to block broad categories of sites, prwn and other junk that isn't considered PC enough to allow on to a .MIL network. It works well enough for 2 to 3 thousand users going it at any one time. It's also good at nailing the top down loaders for the reporting period.
