I need a a web filter appliance to limit browsing on our network. Our
Netgear VPN router filters up to 20 URLs, but I want the ability to filter a
much larger list (e.g. several hundred URLs). Any recommendations?
Best,
Christopher

I have a very similar situation (with a netscreen 5gt firewall). I also
have a Barracuda antispam box for mail, which I like very much; very
easy to manage (which I cannot say for the netscreen!).
I have been looking at a Barracuda 210 Webfilter/spyware firewall. It
has the same nice interface. It is not a firewall at all, but a
dedicated appliance for webfiltering and spyware prevention. The 210 is
around$1600, unlimited users, and a yearly sub for the database updates
is around $400 (in the spam box these are updated hourly and work very well)

I use this with great success on my network. You will need
a decent PIII or greater box with at least 256mb of memory. and
at least two NIC cards.
Latest version of IPcop firewall:
http://ipcop.sourceforge.net/
Latest version of urlfilter. you'll need to know how to
use sftp to copy the urlfilter tar file over to the IPcop firewall
untar/ungzip and run the install script
http://www.urlfilter.net/
To subscribe to a URLblacklist, I subscribe to: http://www.urlblacklist.com/
which has worked well for me for the past two years.
Best of Luck!

Any UTM should do this. I would recommend GajShield Software. You can
find more information at http://www.gajshield.com
