Hi,



We block P2P on the campus proper, but not in the residence halls.  We have
an IPS, but don't do any active blocking based on content.

Subject: [SECURITY] Quick Survey - Does everyone do SOME form of "web
filtering"??



Hi Folks.....



Our Board decided about 3 years ago to require "web filtering" here.  The
concern related to "academic freedom" are mitigated through a simple request
process.  If a faculty member or student finds that an instructionally
legitimate website is being blocked - all they have to do is submit a
request to have the website passed through the web filter and they are in
business.



My question:  Does everyone do some sort of web filtering?  If you *do*
filter your web access - how long have you done so?  And do you have a
"bypass" process?



Thanks,



Michael
