Hi there,
Anyone got any suggestions regarding web filtering for a small office
of a dozen employees?
I'd assume Squid + Google-it-you-lazy-git, but there are a couple of
requirements that make my request a little unusual.
Firstly, instead of simply blocking pr0n & allowing everything else,
the site primarily wants to block Hotmail & Facebook.
I assume that what this _really means_ is that they want to block
everything by default and add a whitelist of work-related sites (it's
an estate agent, so http://rightmove.co.uk would be on the whitelist,
for instance).
Secondly, they want to perform the blocking for most of the day, but
relax the restrictions between 11am - 11:15am & 1pm - 2pm.
And thirdly, the bosses want to be excluded from the filtering. One
obvious way to do this is filtering by their MAC or IP address - none
of the staff are geek enough to get around this but nevertheless it's
a bit clumsy & requires maintenance if the boss gets a new laptop.
So what I'd prefer is really some kind of system that pops up a
message "this site cannot be displayed because it is in the filter
category [pr0n|frivolous]; if you would like to see it anyway, please
enter your username & password". I used to work at a place that
displayed a similar message & allowed with a single click a user to
submit to the admin websites that had been blacklisted in error; so I
am sure something like this is possible, I just don't know if it's
available in open-source.
Thanks in advance,
Stroller.
