Re: Implemeting Web Blocker

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Hi,

I would uninstall the 2nd NIC & ISA and let the Firebox do the firewalling. As the FB has real DMZ ports, you could also do yourself a huge favour and get the website off the SBS box and onto it's own server on a separate network on the FB. Let the SBS box handle the DHCP - makes everything much easier. You can configure the FB to block video and radio downloads etc (along with whatever else you want to block - the users will love you for this of course....not! :). In a nutshell, the FB is going to seriously improve the security of your network and improve productivity when you block various crap (IM, undesirable websites, movie downloads etc..) and implement Web Blocker.

Regards Colin.

Hello,
I need to implement some web blocker at our office. We are in the country
and I can only get a 1Mb DSL line for 35 users that are listening to the
radio and viewing videos so our internet is really slow. I have a SBS 2003
premium with ISA, we host our email and also our website on the same server.
I was checking the Watchguard Firebox x1250 and looks pretty good. Is this
the best solution? And if it is how I have to configure the network, connect
the Firebox to our dsl line and the 2nd Nic pf the SBS to the Firebox and
let Firebox to do the DCHP? Do I have to disable or uninstall ISA server?
Any help will be really appreciated it
