We are wanting a way to block websites from being viewed by users. The two best ways i have found to do this are through either Web Content Filters such as N2H2 and Websense, or through a proxy server such as WinProxy. From those of you with experience in this which do you think would be the better solution for settings with less than 100 users?

N2H2 is a pain, you pick a level and use it if you want to see jsut one site that level blocks the only way to do it is to change to a differnt level which allows that site, and also allows sites you may not want to be able to see.

I woudl advise run a server and manage it youreself

    • ICYMI: 4TB Corsair MP700 PRO SE SSD is still selling at its lowest price

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      ICYMI: 4TB Corsair MP700 PRO SE SSD is still selling at its lowest price by Fiza Ali Amazon US and Newegg are still offering the 4TB Corsair MP700 PRO SE solid-state drive at its new lowest price. The MP700 PRO SE is an M.2 2280 SSD that employs a PCIe 5.0 ×4 interface with NVMe 2.0, delivering sequential read speeds of up to 14,000MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 12,000MB/s. It uses high-density 3D TLC NAND and carries a Total Bytes Written (TBW) rating of 3000. Furthermore, the drive can withstand vibration from 20Hz to 80Hz at 1.52mm and 80Hz to 2000Hz at 20G, as well as shocks up to 1500G. The drive incorporates AES 256-bit encryption and supports Microsoft DirectStorage, allowing compatible games to load assets directly to the GPU for reduced load times. Moreover, it operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, and can be stored between –40°C and +85°C at up to 93% relative humidity (40 °C). A heatsink is not included, so users must provide their own or rely on a motherboard’s integrated SSD cooling solution to maintain optimal thermals. Finally, the MP700 PRO SE is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS systems that provide an M.2 slot, and communicates via a standard M.2 2280 interface connector. 4TB Corsair MP700 PRO SE SSD: $549.99 (Amazon US) 12% off - $549.99 (Newegg) 9% off This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Data (Use and Access) Bill faces pushback over AI and creative rights in UK parliament

      By Steven P. · Posted

      "requiring individual licences from all rights-holders would impose an unmanageable administrative burden and could deter AI investment in the UK." Ah so plebs (humans) will forever be required to secure license, but AI should get a broad pass because it's too complicated. Not so "intelligent" after all? Plus, every opt out I have signed regarding Meta using my data was never presented to me in a clear way, I had to discover it here on neowin or some other news site with a link to do it. So what the government is saying is that they prefer to offer an opt out just to cover their asses, but good luck us plebs finding such a thing!
