Web filtering software/service?

Hi
Can anyone recommend some good cloud/hosted web filtering software?
We use CWS, now EoL and replaced by Cisco umbrella, which i believe is expensive.
All we need is web filtering, nothing else.
Preferably a client/agent installed communicating directly with the cloud, where rules, polices are managed.
Thanks

That's what you're looking for, it's a cloud-based proxy which you can use a PAC file within IE, chrome, firefox to force through whether people are on your network or not. It protects everything.

Oh the other great thing? It's an HTTPS proxy so, no need for any agents, everything is done via group policy so minimal admin overhead :-)
