WELS: [Welstech] filter

[Robert June]

At Star of Bethlehem, we are using OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/)

There are free and paid options.  Some quick thoughts:  Cons:  I imagine it
can be bypassed using a proxy.  Pro:  You have a wide choice of content to
be filtered.  We block Facebook and MySpace as part of our configuration
along with other content such a pornographic and hate sites.  Open DNS is
also blocks the conflicker worm:

Check it out and see if it meets your needs.
