What would be the best software to block websites as a form of control over employees?

[Laurentiu Suciu]

Hello dear forum friends,
I am searching for an easy but good software that will block certain websites, porn, gambling, youtube, facebook, etc. and doesn`t overkill the PC. I need to install this on certain stations all over the country, individual stations. Probably to block every browser and keep only Teamviewer and my enterprise softwares in the Windows.
Can you please help me with some sugestions ?

Best regards,
SL

What OS is being used? Do you have remote access to the computers?

Maybe some "parental controls" software can be configured or be installed on the individual workstations. Edit the hosts file.

Plus the individual workstations must be locked down so the end user(s) cannot install software or make any configuration changes.

You may also be able to establish additional blocks via the routers and servers.

Plus your company must establish and publish a firm policy prohibiting non-work related use of the computers.

Have a few meetings to explain the rules and have each employee sign that they understand the rules.

Then enforce that policy as necessary to the point of firing after the second offense.

My school uses iBoss, so maybe look into that. You can block keywords and certain topics and websites.
