I have a client whose employees claim to have found porn on one or more computers within the company network. My client also feels that much time is being wasted on facebook.com also.
Does anyone have any thoughts on ways to block these sites without having to go the route of a proxy?
While the router in use at the site does provide a way to block specific sites there are 2 problems with using that feature.
1.) The feature only allows one exception (using the private IP of host to be allowed) to each host listed and for facebook in particular there are 2 nodes on the LAN that must have access to the site.
2.) From the best of my recollection, the blocked sites requires specific domain or dns to effect that feature.
My client also mentioned perhaps allowing only the sites necessary for the employees to access in their jobs as a solution also.
Any thoughts on the best way to implement these changes throughout the LAN in the most cost-effective way?
We are running 2 Windows Server 2003 units with primarily Windows 7 nodes.
