Re: Program to monitor employee internet usage

[Jakub Zvěřina <barbucha () gmail com>]

The software you're looking for is a proxy server. It has acces logs,  
you can limit anything - content, speed, there are groups, say who  
can do what, you can make it transparent, so no one doesn't have to  
notice that anything has changed.
The best I've experiences with is squid. And there are many programs  
doing analysis of it's logs for the reports.
