Re: Access to Porn sites?

We do not perform any web content filtering.  We do block proxy/VPN, cryptomining, malware and other malicious 
applications.  This is achieved using a combination of endpoint protection, our NGFW and Cisco Umbrella.  We feel this 
provides us with good protection while keeping the impact to academic free minimal.

Besides, if a user is determined to surf these sites, they’ll do it on their own devices, with their own bandwidth.

Many of our students use free or paid VPN services to protect their interests (or should I say privacy?). So even if we 
as an institution decide to block porn sites (which we don't) they'd just VPN out and get to wherever they want to go 
using our bandwidth as the gateway, bypassing any blocks we would dare put in place. :)

An interesting thread and thanks to all who posted.
