[Web4lib] RE: filtered wifi

[Pruntel,Alison]

We do filter our public wifi for adult content/pornography. We use 8e6.com's R3000 filter appliance (see http://www.8e6.com/network-security/internet-filtering/internet-filtering.html) for our public access computers as well as our wireless network. It has worked out well. Prior to installing on the wireless network, we did have some problem patrons who would bring in their laptops and surf porn (other users would see it). No complaints from users thus far.

Hi all,

Does anybody have filtered wifi for the public?

Our previous solution seems to have gone out of business unexpectedly.

Thanks
