DeVore
Data Solutions offers Content Filtering Firewalls. These firewalls
seamlessly protect your network of computers from unwanted Internet content such
as computer viruses and inappropriate web sites (adult/sexually explicit,
gambling, drugs, job boards, web-based e-mail, etc.) as defined
by you. No software needs to be installed on the
client computers. The Content Filtering Firewall can be
used to help a school or library become compliant with The Children's
Internet Protection Act (CIPA).
The Content Filtering Firewall sits between your Internet
connection and your network and serves as a NAT router. It intercepts
traffic between your network and the Internet and it will deny attempts by your
users to access viruses or inappropriate web content. A combination of
phrase lists and URL blacklists are employed to evaluate the suitability of web
sites. In addition to this, you have the flexibility of whitelisting or
blacklisting domain names as well as disabling filtering for a particular
computer to allow "an
adult to enable access for bona fide research or other lawful purposes."
The firewall comes in a number of hardware configurations tailored to meet the capacity and configuration of your network. Each firewall is built in a small PC chassis. A color-coded network cable is provided for each network interface. Red is for the connection to the Internet, Green is for the local area network (LAN) at your office, and Blue (on select models) is for an additional network such as a wireless or public network.
Below are some screen shots to illustrate what
your network users will see when attempting to access
denied content:
Optionally,
SPAM and e-mail virus protection is seamlessly accomplished for POP3
access. Suspect messages are tagged and can be easily deleted
or filtered.
Models
Model
One: (EFW-SC-512MB-NR-I2)
The Base Model has 2 network interfaces - one to connect to the
Internet Service Provider (ISP) and one to connect to the local area
network (LAN) for the office.
Recommended for 5 - 15 users.
$449 plus $229/year maintenance plus shipping
(firewall configuration included with maintenance fee)
Model
Two: (EFW-SC-1GB-NR-I2)
Model Two has twice the RAM as the Base Model and can
therefore handle more users adequately.
Recommended for 15 - 50 users.
$499 plus $249/year maintenance plus shipping
(firewall configuration included with maintenance fee)
Model Three: (EFW-SC-1GB-NR-I3)
Model Three is the same as Model Two except Model Three has 3
network interfaces - one to connect to the ISP, one to connect to the
main LAN for the office, and a third for either a wireless access point
or another separate network.
Recommended for 15 - 50 users.

Model Four: (EFW-DC-2GB-R1-I3)
Model Four builds on Model Three but with twice the RAM, a
more robust dual core processor, and with a redundant hard drive
subsystem (RAID 1). The hard drives are mirrored so that a
hard drive failure will not cause any disruption to your network or
loss of your customized configuration or access
logs.
Recommended for 50 - 100+ users or for networks where reliability is
paramount.
