Title: Half Bridged Modem
Post by: geoff on September 13, 2009, 03:08:54 AM

I've been looking for a very simple way of blocking a few basic sites (facebook, myspace, youtube, twitter, RSVP, etc.) and have found that the Billion 5200 series ADSL Modems have URL blocking and will half bridge.

Half bridge seems perfect as it allows the SME Server to do its thing while filtering the 'usual' timewasters. Any comments?

Half Bridge is really simple, quick, and it works for what I want.

Thanks for your comments.
