Re: Open Source Web Filtering

We use both an internal web filtering device and the open DNS solution. =
We are very happy with it. Bottom line is we have our students filtered =
through an internal filter and out faculty filtered with Open DNS. This =
allows us to have different rules for the teachers and the students. So =
I would recommend it.
