[Hidden-tech] recommendations for a browsing filter

[Doug Lowing]

What is your budget?

A centralized filtering solution seems more effective and easier to manage,
cost effective in the long run for many workstations. What is the
motivation for placing the filter on individual machines? What level of
filtering do you want to achieve? How many workstations?

If it is broad strokes and no cost, I agree K9 is reasonable.

Looking separately at free malware protection, I have found Comodo to be
effective and can be locked down to prevent user modification.
