[K12OSN] Internet access restrictions

[Ron Freidel]

Hi,

Don't know if this is the solution you are looking for but,
squid/dansguardian on the firewall can be setup to require authentication
prior to accessing the internet. Dansguardian is also a content filter that
will block the students from accessing material they shouldn't.

Hope this helps.
