Anyone have a recommendation for an Internet filter for a 35 PC workgroup? They need to limit access to specific sites and block everything else on specific PC's.

Anyone have a recommendation?

You could set up a proxy server (apache) on a linux box. That should allow you full control over what any machine on your network is connecting to. You will also need to enforce that everyone is using the proxy, which means you should tell your netopia jobby that ONLY the proxy machine is allowed to use the web.

I think the apache proxy will allow you to do configs like "don't allow any urls with the work fuck in them" or similar matching on pages.

You might also want to look into the squid proxy.

Note that an educated user will be able to point their machine to a proxy outside your network - so you might need to block all internet access to every machine except the proxy, which will disable more than just http access.

You should also note that just about any effort you make here will be subvertable in some way or another. Just depends on how educated your users are.
