I work for a K - 12 school.
In my opinion, we have some very fair rules and regulations
regaurding internet and computer use.
We use a Sonicwall firewall, 3060, I subscribe to content fltering,
which I love. It keeps out all the horrible junk that kids may
accidently come across (Or purposely) and it covers our rear.
Due to recent events, and some within the school, I have been
ordered to block myspace.com.
I have several other sites faculty and staff have asked me to block
within the content filtering section of my sonicwall admin page.
However, some students got smart, and searched google for proxy and
anonymous. Thousands of results come up, allowing them to type in
any website they like (including myspace) and surf around on it,
bypassing my firewall.
There is an option in sonicwall that says "Restrict Web Features::"
and I checked "Access to HTTP Proxy Servers" But I am still able to get
to sites via these proxy sites that shoulf be blocked...
Consider locking down the computers themselves more..
