Am looking for some suggestions on Proxying software. Reason: Need to control user access to the internet. Have had limited success with win2k and ad gpo's and budget cutbacks have quashed other MS solutions. Anyone have suggestions on other dependable solutions for monitoring and blocking internet access as required....
Thanks in advance

How about a Linux solution
For the cost of the hardware + download time, you can set up a nice transparent proxy using Squid and iptables,
then use squidGuard, (a seperate program that plugs into squid), to configure access to the proxy. Both programs are standard on many distro's.
