OpenDNS works very well, the only problem with deployment would be either policy or political as with Higher Education 
the environment is typically viewed as one of open learning which some administrations will not allow this type of 
filtering.

We use transparent mode squid proxies with squidGuard and a combination of
both http://urlblacklist.com and openDNS.

We used to use Dansguardian with squid, but found that squidGuard performs
much faster if all you do is blocking lists of URL/Domains and do not need
complex regex.

I'm curious if anyone on the listserv has dealt with the need to provide
content filtering for underage students who are involved in pre-college
programs.  It's come up here at WSU. Anyone else doing this?
