Re: Cisco IOS Content Filtering

Yeah, ScanSafe seems to be the way to go now. Check out the writeup @mengelm did about it at Packetpushers:

Marc's right about being able to get around content filters, but it's not always about trying to stop EVERYTHING - it's just about catching MOST things.

Personally I like having content filtering that uses a different A/V to the one run on my desktops. Gives better coverage. For what A/V is worth anyway (not much).

Reporting is very handy too, being able to see how bandwidth is being used.
