Internet Use Monitoring Tools
Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2009 9:54 am
In our stake center we have a wireless network that is part of the CCN, which we recently changed to "LDS Access." In another ward in our stake we have a DSL line and are considering putting in a wireless network in the building.
In both cases the Firewall/Websense system is in place and functioning.
In my home setting I use K9 filtering. I love the ability to look at websites that have been accessed, monitor usage, turn off the Internet during certain hours, etc. I feel like I have control over my home wireless network.
My question is : are there any tools available to stake technology specialists or stake presidencies to monitor use in a similar way as I can with K9 (either with the church maintained wireless network, or one that the stake puts in and maintained)?
I've heard of setting up a proxy server, or ZoneCD (NoCAtNet), etc. I would love to see a tool set where we could monitor use in a more proactive/efficient way. The proxy server seems like a lot of maintenance.
Are there other tools that are simple and effective?
