(With a web browser being operated by a human.) How would you treat traffic obviously not web browser related? e.g. VoIP and VPN. How about a situation where all you will ever see from a machine is port 67 UDP/IP, port 53 UDP(&TCP)/IP and mostly port 1194 UDP/IP? (Assume the machine belongs to the guest's employer rather than the guest. With the employer having good reasons not to allow unrestricted/logged access to websites.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlG4yi0ACgkQsoRLMhsZpFej/QCfUvPKFo2dWdpD0+jAsf4Nz+/s kN8An0KnA4rkFch8sMBz5NC3ky6YZiJc =/qSj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
