Free Server 2008 WebFilter

[Thomas Holmes]

Hi everyone,

I have a home server running server 2008 in my home, and the kids and family all have there accounts on the active directory. The problem is, I would like a webfilter that is free and integrates with Server 2008 but can't find one. Anyone got any ideas or solutions? I would like to keep it all on the one server.

Thanks,
Tom

If clients are windows 7, there is parental control.

Is it possible to change settings via the server or another computer on the network?

EDIT: Just checked on the live essentials site, where it says:

Note: computers using parental controls cannot be connected to a domain.​

mhhh that's strange...

Well if it's so, you can download and install (on a dedicated machine), untangle it's free (for home use).

Hmm... Thanks, but I haven't got another machine that is currently available for the use of untangle.

I've been using Blue Coat K9 Web Protection for now which does the job, but I was looking for something that would integrate with server 2008 and had remote administration on a per-user basis. K9 however just filters the whole computer regardless of the user.

Thanks anyway.
