OpenDNS provides a ton of great reporting … and it is free!
Agreed on OpenDNS. I don’t think it tracks information back to the specific user though. I think all companies should do either monitoring or filtering for legal reasons.
On a side note, what is a Christian company? That phrase has always annoyed me.
Even though most companies do not have accountability software, most companies, Christian or nonChristian, already have filters for pornography, facebook, etc. due to liability issues.
One of the advantages to Covenant Eyes is your account can be used on multiple devices. You can have it on multiple computers, so it covers you at home, too.
I’m not really familiar with OpenDNS. I wasn’t really advocating for Covenant Eyes in particular, but for using something.
I work in IT for the leading digital advertising agency in the world. It’s company policy explicitly that we don’t filter for content. But then, we make commercials for video games and iPhone apps, so I guess that doesn’t surprise me.
Of the 100+ small businesses I’ve consulted for for in the DC area, maybe 5 have internet filtered for content. I would imagine the type of company (is it a law firm, political advocacy group or entertainment company) and how big the businesses is, are the big factors.

- Blocks sites in the cloud
- does not put software on the client
- Free

For what it’s worth, they wrote the headline, I didn’t. :)
I said “my company has a strong Christian ethic,” which I hope is clear enough.
