Hi there!!!

Im starting a cyber cafe in my area. My problem is that i have no control over the content that gets downloaded on my machines, which usually result in my 3GB cap being reached very soon.
I was wondering if theres any kind of software i can use to block media downloads such as mp3s, avi's and so on. I wud like this to be the case on all the machines.

I dont want to limit the amount of data that comes in, i just wanna block certain file extensions and streaming videos from the net.

Finances are a bit tight so i wud appreciate it if the solution cost as little as possible or if it was free!!

PLEEZ HELP!!!

Use a Linux proxy, I think it's called Squid. You get plugins to block certain traffic and see what is going on.

Otherwise ISA server which you'll have to pay for.
