The problem with this solution (other than the ones already posted) is that rarely does a one size fits all solution work. You're always going to have that Sr Exec that "needs" access to some blocked site. Once he wins that battle (which he eventually will), you have to open the site for everyone. Plus lots of sites have different "back doors". URL's you may not even be aware of but somehow the users always find. Gmail for example.

I have a small client who won't pay for filtering software and he wants to block off the usual rubbish such as MySpace, Facebook, etc. Just wondering if anyone knows where there is a list of the most popular such sites I could get hold of?
