Restricting Internet access through LAN without server?

Question

I am working in a company with about 50 computers. Unfortunately their server jus crashed.They dont want to buy a server as of now. I want to know if there is way to restrict access to certain sites (eg:p**n sites) without a server. They are willing to purchase a good router. Could anyone suggest a good dual wan router which does content filtering.

Answer 1

u can use a proxy server. use some free proxy server program and all users can connect to the internet using this proxy server. So u can restrict access at this proxy server

Answer 2

I don't know about a router, but OpenDNS allows you to block sites.  Check them out at OpenDNS.com.  All the details are there.

Answer 3

You can look at Juniper Networks Netscreen Product or Sonic Wall Product.

By the way a simple Desktop with Linux IPCOP will be able to do this job for you and no need for investing in a Server.
