Firewalls are scary...

All I can say is after installing one at my office and looking over the logs, it's pretty scary what my $700 one will do. I cringe when I think about what the high-end ones can do. Needle out of a haystack for sure. Now I know my former employer either:
A. Payed no attention to outbound internet access
B. Laughed thier arses off at all the stuff I was looking at that I shouldn't have...

Either way, I feel pretty lucky to never have gotten called on the carpet about it.

What's funny is my employees think that we are too small of a company to know what they are doing on the internet at work.

I would put myself in Category B. above right now.
