Ensuring Your Business' Internet Connection Is Used for .... BUSINESS! (or, Protecting Your Kids From the Dangers of the Internet)

Here's a great little article from Mike Diehl over at LinuxJournal about a slick way to block the baddies (purveyors of viruses, spyware, pornography, etc.) on the internet from invading your pc's. The real magic is that all you need to do it is your already existing internet router, or an inexpensive off-the shelf router available at your local computer shop, a free service called "OpenDNS", and a little know how.

Using such a setup can dramatically reduce time and expenses spent cleaning up spyware and virus infected computers, and by making the internet a less tempting distraction, make your staff more productive. This is also a great tool for blocking adult content from the young ones at home!

Is your challenge the needing "a little know how" part? If you need help implementing a solution like this one, please give me a call, I'd be happy to help you get it set up!
