We are considering the same. It was tried a few years ago and undone due to a lot of pushback. We are trying again using security concerns ad one of the justifications. We already stopped gambling sites with no fallout. I would be interested to hear others experiences with it. We will be using Checkpoint to do our filtering.

Hi All, We at Mills College have been kicking around the idea of blocking access to porn sites on our network. Needless to say, we have gotten some push back. Our plan (if it is green-lighted) is to use the built-in "adult" filters that our Palo Alto firewall provides. I am curious as to how many of you block porn sites, and if you do and especially if you use a Palo Alto device, have you had to do a lot of fine-tuning of your filters to eliminate false-positives? Thanks.
