Websense and Internet Manager are two tools that do a good job. We run both
here.

WebSense is a proactive blocking agent that runs on top of Proxy or popular
firewalls. It is a subscription based product that operates via categories.
Basically, the software is free - you pay for the database content delivery.
If you set the category to block porn - it does so and notifies the user
that the content or site has been blocked and is not permitted. It is
highly customizable, and easy to work with. It integrates well with NT's
domain model also. Really professional and easy to setup. A true setit and
forgetit system.

IM or internet manager is pretty good as well - however this operates via
keywords. I like IM's reporting functionality better than that of WS. IM
requires 1 PC setup to act as an agent, or sniffer, and one machine for the
databasing. I have both set up on one P5166Mhz pc running NT with 128 megs
and it is fine. You cannot run this on the same machine as Proxy. It has
the ability to block, but I really did not care to much for it as the
configuration required to use NT as a gateway or bridge. Ack.

I remember looking for something like MAPS (Email Spamming Black List) and
never came up with anything. I took these routes and now have the best of
both worlds.

I'm not aware of any such lists, of course that doesn't mean one doesn't
exist somewhere, although if there was such a list it would have to be huge.
You're better off putting in the URL's that you catch with the Proxy log and
disciplining the members of staff that were caught on such sites, that will
certainly slow down the inappropriate traffic. And you could always think
about using an Internet Traffic Monitor, some of them are pretty good.
Although they tend to be costly. That's my 2 cents.

Subject: OT: P*rn Site Urls

I know this is off topic but I thought maybe someone on this list might
know, I'm trying to propagate my proxy banded list with known URLS for porn
sites and I was wondering if anyone know if there was a site/list that kept
such a thing, a bit like they do for open relays.

Thanks for your time

Gary
