Free, many folks rave about it and you can try it for free J Can I borrow your trebuchet for our Barracuda Spam filter? We will be tossing ours this winter. From: Andrew Greene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 15, 2008 3:17 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Web Filtering I know the list seems to have this discussion what seems like every month, but I've had it with my Barracuda Web Filter. 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 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
