Fantastic Steve - you're a star. i will have a look at the link and hope i come right. thanks once again Craig Meyer Subject: [gptalk] Re: WebsiteDate: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:44:05 +0100From: Steve.Rochford@xxxxxxxxxxxx: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Squid is free and I think will do what you want (as long as you can configure users to get their web pages via a proxy rather than directly). It’s originally a Unix program but there is a Windows version which is fairly easy to use. I put my notes on how I set it up at http://techinfo.cnwl.ac.uk/Squid%20Proxy/ including details of where to get the Windows version and how to set an ACL to block particular web sites. By default it does log all access but this can be turned off. It doesn’t log username unless you go through hoops (just requesting IP) Steve From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Craig MeyerSent: 13 September 2007 06:29To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [gptalk] Re: Website Thanks for the comments guys. Firstly funding for ISA 2006 is out of the question now so i'm looking for something else. Not expensive but that will work optimally. I will look at the workarounds you gave me. thank you very much PS: With my SAV Enterprise edition i got Symantec Web Security 3.0 also which is a proxy server according to the booklet. Have any of you experience in working with this product and is it gud to implement it as a proxy?
