I've used IPCop with the Cop+ plugin at a few offices and it has worked very well. IPCop is a fork of Smoothwall, and Cop+ is an addon for it that installs Dan's Guardian.

We're considering building a trebuchet on top of city hall and flinging the blasted thing into the next county and let it be their problem. Our budget is extremely limited (can't nix the trebuchet as it is vital to our long term plans) and we need a content filtering solution that works and I'm considering performing a test install with SmoothWall Express 3 or Dans Guardian since they're free. Has anyone had any experience using these products or their pay counterpart SmoothWall Corporate Guardian? At $700, I'd be willing to pay for it if it can block content reasonably well and give me flexible reporting options. Any gotchas that I should be aware of? (other than these solutions being Linux-based) Many thanks in advance, Andrew Greene IS Technician / Webmaster City of Anderson Confidentiality Notice: ---------------------------------- This communication, including any attachments, may contain confidential information and is intended only for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
