From frnkblk at iname.com Mon Aug 23 12:11:43 2010 From: frnkblk at iname.com (Frank Bulk - iName.com) Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 12:11:43 -0500 Subject: Looking for suggestions for an internet content filtering appliance Message-ID: We offer an optional internet content filtering service to our customers using M86's appliance (http://www.m86security.com/products/web_security/m86-web-filtering-reportin g-suite.asp). I've been in conversation with them the whole year regards IPv6 support, but the update I received today was that IPv6 support won't be available until middle to late next year. That's not ideal, because the local college is a significant user and they started with IPv6 this summer. College students can easily bypass content filtering by using the IPv6 version of the site (i.e. http://www.playboy.com.sixxs.org) Wondering if anyone can point me to a similar appliance. I know that Barracuda has such an appliance but it has one limitation I don't like, and that Fortinet and Ironport have more expensive products. It must be able to operate in pass-by/SPAN mode, not inline, and handle traffic rates up to 1 Gbps. We currently move 400+ Mbps "by" it and internet usage only goes up. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you have.

We and the college knows that internet content filtering isn't a silver bullet, but it does a very adequate job of filtering content that people didn't mean to go to. Those who want to work around can. But then they have to try.

If they go to this college then they agree to abide by its rules. Entirely voluntary. If they want to go to a school that doesn't filter there's one 15 minutes down the road.
