We're on RM Safetynet here. It's OK, but if I had a choice (and I don't, sorry Tom) I'd be with Smoothwall.

We use smoothwall very good but have some issues with it... i mean how does a obvious game sites get through their filtering ?!?

 

ie: http://www.helicopter-game.us .......... i mean it even has game in it's title

@Grommit: Will check it. Thanks. Are you sure you haven't got games sites allowed at lunchtime or some such by mistake?

This site is blocked as a URL under the 'Online games' category. As a belt-n-braces approach, the helicopter game SWF is also caught by the flash filter.

 

Are you the chap who was being helped by our Support Team last week with something similar?

We use the Sophos WS1000 that then feeds into one of our ISA servers. Apart for the issue for the authentication issues when we upgraded to Windows 2008 r2 (which has been sorted now), we're pretty happy with it.
