WInProxy

Many firewall appliances come with HTTP proxy services you can use without any settings needed in the network/workstations.

I have a HTTP proxy setup that filters HTTP content from all category_A users, then a another HTTP proxy rule that allows all content to category_B users.... You can create as many rules as needed.

Checkout WatchGuard.com.

Many. Just try out

I wanted gateway firewall protection. I am not sure what all I am getting with WinProxy. AntiVirus?

Yeah ... but are there any that REALLY WORK??? I am thinking of using Kerios does anyone know of networking problems with this app?

Gateway as in directly connects to the internet?

Why do you need proxy software @ all?

RRAS will do everything you need bar caching. E.

internet cable modem Win 2003 SBS switch and hubs XP Pro clients

Win 2003 is a mail server and VPN server

The setup you have looks a little alarming. Can you do a quick diagram? e.g. internet -> SBS-> LAN

The only reasons for running proxy software I can think of are a: you want each user to authenticate for each internet session or b: you have very low bandwidth and wish to cache.

Best setup is internet -> Firewall/router -> LAN 1 -> SBS -> LAN2 -> all internal clients. Even if you are on dialup/ISDN you can still do this. E.

Why not connect a FWall/router as above? Then just fwd ports as needed. E.

AllegroSurf works for me. Get that, plus a filtering proxy server, such as CyBlock, and that should do it.
