My sister works at a charity for mongs, they have some computers but they wanna stop the spackers getting at porn.

Ideally needs to be free (or cheap and work on multiple machines) and be reasonably difficult to disable.

any ideas?

problem is, mongs of the downs flavour are quite likely to whip it out and do what comes naturally at every opportunity.

The only thing I can think of is cyberpatrol - But that's quite expensive and requires a licence per PC.

It's not fool proof, or mong proof as may be more relevant...

You can restrict the sites using Group Policy that is already in Windows. (i.e. free)

It will catch about 80% of the sites in my experience when I had that going at Siemens. The shop floor staff were always looking at porn.

This tho was a stop-gap until we purchased something. I can't for the life of my think of the name - but it ran with Microsoft Proxy Server / NT4, I can remember that much.

This screeny is in Win2k3 server std being the domain server of the clients you wish to censor. However Group Policy is mostly a list of registry changes so could be simply done in the registry with an absence of domain controller or the like.

Edit: You can disable the ability for non-admins to change this, or hide the options entirely. Forgot that bit.

Looks pretty good, doesn't appear to work against firefox. (not critical in this case)

*waaay* too complicated to setup, looks like it'd take a few hours to get right.

Well, this might just stop helen keller seeing porn, but that's about it.
