Firewall, Filtering and Wireless to UTM

[john]

Sorry, 1 last question i promise
Is anyone using the Anti-Spam features? we host our own exchange 2010 servers and have a websense email filter and ideally we'll like to remove it.

Yup I use it and its great, the quarantine feature with the users self-releasing email is great as well really like that feature Not finding too many false positives either which is good news and keeps the complaints about missing email down

Thanks for the replies, i'll look into the Smoothwall solutions.
We'd be setting this device up as the clients default gateway, no proxy settings at all. Is this how most people have it configured and is it able to filter HTTPS traffic this way?

We still put all the proxy settings in for our main workstations as they are not allowed to go transparent on the main network they are required to authenticate and yes we filter HTTPS traffic on the main LAN as well.

The Guest devices are on a transparent proxy thus no proxysettings and it works fine, it can do HTTPS filtering as well on that side but only on modern clients and browsers, cannot remember the ins and outs of that one but it does tell you when setting it up on the smoothie

We have a "development" guest wireless with smoothwall as a non-transparent proxy server, using SSL logins against AD, clients need to be configured to use a proxy.pac file. Works best with a device that supports tabbed browsing.

To make YouTube work on an iPhone/iPad we needed to add some domain names to a whitelist.

Was asked to join an Android mobile phone to it today though which does not work with a proxy.pac file, and having some trouble making it work with manual proxy settings.

Not sure if this means that we will have to look at a transparent proxy server with one filtering policy suits all approach to provide a system that works with any device
