It sounds like a perfect opportunity for a squid proxy server running on Linux. &nbsp;The software will cost you nothing and all you need is an old box (or virtual machine) running Linux with Squid installed to run as a proxy server. &nbsp;You will then have complete control over any traffic passing through this proxy.

You might look at using OpenDNS as your DNS server. &nbsp;They offer a way for you to then add filtering for content, etc. &nbsp;No cost or extra hardware, etc. &nbsp;The site is <a href="http://www.opendns.com" rel="ugc">www.opendns.com</a>&nbsp;.<br />

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.<br />

As with everywhere, we are tight on cash and spending. &nbsp;I'm looking for a free web filter I can attach to our network. &nbsp;Our current one is 10 years old and barely blocks anything. &nbsp;I'm using:<br />
<br />
router<br />
hub connected to PC (the hub sees the internet traffic)<br />
switches to rest of network<br />
<br />
Ideally I want to keep the hub and not get into port mirroring/etc. &nbsp;Any suggestions?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
