James we use a Censorblox which is updated daily at this point in time we have over 25,000 proxy servers blocked and counting.

As soon as the kids find a new one it is added to the list. It is a squid as in  Russell's response.

 

www.ozdisk.com.au <http://www.ozdisk.com.au/>  you pay for installation then a monthly/yearly fee.

 

Our kids have given up trying...

Hi all,

 

sorry for the cross posts. 

Firstly, thanks to all the people who replied to my query last week about Value Adding through VB programming, it was most helpful. 

I have another problem and would appreciate any advice. lately, we have had a spate of students using proxy servers to bypass the
school's internet restrictions. Word is spreading that this can be done amongst the students and it has proved impossible to block
all sites that provide proxy access. 

 

At the moment we cancel internet access to those students we catch but we only catch them by fluke and we don't want to end up
banning large number of students from the internet but if we let the students know these sites exist it will advertise the fact and
more will use them.

 

Has your school had these problems and does anyone have some advice on what to do?

 

Thanking you in advance
