OpenDNS won't catch everything, but it's another useful layer.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Content filter or ad blocker...

 

Our school currently relies on Sonicwall's Content Filtering Service to
block offensive and malicious websites. We used iPrism with good results
a few years ago, but they began raising their prices substantially, so
we reverted to the Sonicwall CFS, for which we were already paying.

 

I know that no filter is 100%, but we had some pornography get through
the other day, I think in the form of an advertisement shown during a
Bing video search. I wasn't able to reproduce this, so can't confirm
100%. I've used the free MVPS.org DNS solution at home with good ad
blocking results, but I'm not sure if that would be good to implement
network-wide. I'm also looking at some browser plug-ins(most users use
FF), but I would have to implement them for all browsers or restrict the
allowed browsers(we allow IE, FF, Chrome). I'm looking for a free
solution to this first, and there seems to be a lot of options.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
