Filtering

[Jane Frasier]

We allow minors to use our computers in the adult area if the children's ones are full and some other circumstances. It is in this situation that our reservation system determines the age and then changes the proxy accordingly. This is where it gets messy because it doesn't seem like our new system is going to be able to do that.

Thanks for your prompt reply

Don't you have different public access computer areas for adults and children?  We do here, and I have those areas on different subnets of the same class C network.  That being the case, I have our web filter (Untangle NG Firewall) configured to apply the appropriate web filter policy based on IP address range.  Using that strategy, the age in the patron profile and the PC reservation system don't even come into play.

Currently we have a children’s filter that blocks web sites that are deemed to be porn. Then we have a separate filter for adults that allows them to go to porn websites, but not view the photos. Our web filtering appliance and our computer reservation system can be setup this way. We are switching to something different and it seems that we won’t be able to create 2 different policies based on age like we do now.

Do you have separate policies for adults and children?

Thanks.
