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

    • Report: Microsoft quietly disables vital Windows feature crippling many AMD Ryzen CPUs

      By Soeaker4thedead · Posted

      Clearly a lot of gamers. And I'm sorry but you are wrong, my 7800x3d (single ccd) offers huge benefits to me as a AAA 1440p gamer. And it's pretty dumb to crap on 1080p gamers as they make up like 90+% of steam gamers. But no, the x3d does not just offer benefits to esport gamers (one of the stupidest things I've seen in a while AND THATS SAYING SOMETHING.) Abd when I built my rig with my 7800x3d, I paired it with a RX7900xt and couldn't be happier.

      Um, someone needs to tell this author the 7800x3d is a single ccd and shouldn't be affected. If this only effects the dual ccd, 7800x3d owners need not worry
    • Popular File Explorer alternative Files gets signature check, improved dual-pane, and more

      Popular File Explorer alternative Files gets signature check, improved dual-pane, and more by Taras Buria A new update has arrived for File Preview, a feature-packed file manager for Windows 10 and 11. Version 3.9.14 introduces a useful new feature for file properties, dual-pane improvements, the ability to resize columns in the Columns View, and more. Starting with the Properties dialog, it now features a "Signatures" tab where you can view digital signatures associated with the file and their properties, such as version, issuer, expiry date, and more. You can also click the "Details" button to open Windows' native dialog. The dual-pane feature has been tweaked for a more intuitive experience. The "Add pane" command is now "Split pane." There is a new quick action for toggling dual-pane mode on or off, and settings now have a dedicated section for dual-pane mode. Finally, columns in the Columns View are now resizable, and search results now have a header with your current query. In addition to releasing the update, developers said the following regarding performance complaints from users: Files Preview is available in the Microsoft Store. You can purchase it there to support developers. Alternatively, you can get the app for free from the official website, and if you want to help developers with contributions or ideas, check out their Discord and GitHub.
    • WhatsApp's guest chats feature has a surprising catch

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      So the iPhone only has a leading position in a few markets around the world: US, UK, UAE, couple of other smaller ones. As a result of the far more mixed eco-system Whatsapp is a lot more popular outside of the US than I think a lot of American's may realise. It's pretty much the messaging standard in the UK
