That isn't content filtering as most in the industry would define it.
Anyone can drop packets based upon metrics such as destination IP.
Generally, when people ask for content filtering they are looking for
high level policies that can block certain types of content e.g. porn.
If you want to block porn, you are not going to be able to keep a list
of IP/hostnames that are known porn sites. You need something more
sophisticated. How sophisticated? Try answering the question, "what is
porn?" Is a picture of a naked human porn? What about babies? What about
medical imaging? Will someone's porn be someone else's art? Who decides?
The folks I have talked who want content filtered don't want to have to
decide what specifically is filtered. They just want their ass covered
in case something comes up. This is where having a 3rd party who is in
the business helps. That 3rd party needs to be compensated in order to
take on the liability of content filtering, which is quite serious. I'd
hate to be on the wrong side of this issue, whichever side it was.

I use 2.8.38 at a school to filter out everything to do with myspace.com

Hi All,
I have a customer that's looking for a router that also does content
filtering.
What are people using these days?
Prices?
thanks,
