porn-blocking proxy services?
High bandwidth subscription porn-blocking proxies/web-filters?
I've acquired responsibility of a number of widely dispersed field internet kiosks. The machines are windows XP and are locked down as much as steady state will allow. I need to enable porn blocking sooner, rather than later.
I'm looking for a proxy or webfilter service that I can subscribe them to, but I've not had luck - other than the standard subscription services that exist to circumvent what I'm trying do. I'd consider setting up my own at head quarters, but bandwidth issues would be a problem.
Things like individualized NetNanny installations are something I'd like to avoid.

Oh the other nice thing about opendns is that it also can be setup to block most popular "anonymizers" and other web based proxies, so if a user attempts to use an anonymizer of web fetcher to retrieve the banned website they will usually get blocked as well.

OK, already have openDNS running with a demo account and the boss is happy.
Safesquid looks interesting too. # Real-Time Website Profiler and Pornographic Image Filter. Dynamic IP client built in - good potential for nth degree customization.

I know this thread is very old but one suggestion is to use Norton ConnectSafe

I find using their DNS servers very helpful.
