Re: Firewall Server

Does not a gateway provide you with that functionality?

Kids use all 4 PCs.

That's not so much firewalling as content filtering. You can do this on a
per-PC basis with parental control apps like NetNanny or CyberSitter, and
depending on your real context, that may give you much better results.

Often, when people ask to do that kind of thing, it's because there are
children involved. The parental control app publishers have already done
most of the research for you on the sites and content that "should" be
blocked. They can provide pretty good reporting, and for four machines it
will cost you much less than the server you're thinking of.

These do rely on effective Administrator passwords, so you need to keep an
eye on when the Admin account was logged into.
