Content Filtering software


Hi
I’ve been tasked with finding some content filtering software for our organisation. Can any one recommend any good ones?

Thanks

Brasso

Being a little more specific about what exactly you are trying to filter (and why - i.e. to save bandwidth, to reduce porn, to prevent access to certain sites...), might get you some better suggestions, but meanwhile, have you examined Squid or SquidGuard to see if either of these would work for you?

If it is to filter content from the internet, you might try using OpenDNS.

http://www.opendns.com/

Many options for filtering are avilable.
Perhaps that will suit your needs.

Cheers
