I'm going to completely revert this post and ask has anybody tried implementing Websense. I have currently downloaded the trial version and noticed there are many intricasisy to getting the application running.
It's really funny to see so many people posing questions on how to get around the blocks. I won't lie, I used to try and get around them to when I was in high school. Now I'm the one that is putting up the applications and configuring the network at work to filter/block all the bad traffic.
I guess it helps because I know what I used to look for in getting around, so I apply that when designing the security outline. But of course these attempts or attacks if you will change on a weekly if not daily basis.
We currently implement the Fortinet security solution. But I am not to impressed with the logging and filtering. I have posted a couple times on f.cx about Fortinet but receieved no respoinses. So that kind of makes me wonder, if Fortinet is so good why don't people use it more often. But companies such as GM, Charter Communications, Subaru Automobiles, and Nintendo use Fortinet.
I know there are many solutions for filtering traffic, the question is which one to go with and how nice will it play with my Fortinet network.
