The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Setting up a firewall, proxy or internet filter for a small school

Asked by roarteam in Miscellaneous Security, Consumer Firewalls

Tags: proxy

I am the "volunteer IT" contact for a small Christian school.  We have had the office PC on the internet (via DSL) for some time, but now we have upgraded the classrooms and labs and want to give them internet access.  Obviously, before I do that, I want to put internet filtering in place.  Being a small school, we cannot afford the expensive hardware solutions or the yearly memberships for 30 PCs for software.  So... is there a way to set up a proxy PC running the filtering software?  I have worked with software and hardware for 15 years, but this is new territory for me.  I would appreciate as much detail as possible regarding a simple, secure solution for our school including what software and hardware is needed, as well as any references to instructions on how to set it up.  Logging and customizing is a must.

Thanks in advance.View the Solution FREE for 30 Days
