For that, at our school, we have a combination of:
– Squid proxy: on Ubuntu 8.04, squid 2.7, using Delay Pools. We don’t block websites, we just make them bloody slow. Plus with the caching we get a nice 20% additional efficiency. And nice daily reports on the usage. We then can talk and educate users, as it is also possible to hog bandwidth with “approved” sites.
– Firewall: allows external HTTP/HTTPS access only to the Squid proxy.
Mmmm…
Why not go with Untangle?
Or any of these other options?
