Ditto on OpenDNS. Been using it for a couple of years now and its been great. <br><br>It CAN be gotten around by hardsetting dns servers away from the opendns servers.. so you will want to add firewall rules to restrict that. <br><br>I know you said you want to stay away from having a proxy, but squid and dansguardian is also a great inexpensive content filtering solution. And if you have some cycles spare on a vmware server there are prebuilt vmware images available.<br><br>Steve

<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Folks,<BR>
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?<BR>
<BR>
Is anyone using the Barracuda Content Filter? Websense (Express)?<BR>
<BR>
I want to accomplish two things:<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><UL><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Keep things secure for our elementary school
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Avoid having a proxy server<BR>
</SPAN></FONT></UL><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'><BR>
Thanks for your thoughts!<BR>
