Internet/Proxy Server

There is a marketing firm who has 40 employees. All the employees have internet access either from the office LAN or Wireless access on their laptops. I need a proxy server which takes care of following points:
1. Control the internet usage by allowing required websites.
2. Internet access must be monitored and reported.
3. Report internet activity of employees using laptops when they are traveling.

Can somebody suggest cost effective solution for our small organization?

 

sorry to poke... but wouldnt that be illegal to monitor what they are looking at while traveling? (unless it is for business travels.)

Anyways.... One idea for this is to actually do a keylogger, which will track all of the key strokes made, and thus would track what sites they are navigating to.

Another idea, and this sounds like it might hit the spot, have someone make a small program that looks at the browser cookies, and then emails a daily report of the cookie titles (or emails a copy of the actual cookie).

Umm... Another idea might be to setup a VPN and then setup all the computers to connect to that vpn whenever they surf the web and that should keep track of what they are surfing in the logs. You could do something like that just by using a VPS and the OpenVPN software. You can find a great tutorial on how to install it on a VPS here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1024872

Just some thoughts. Hope it helps a bit.

Try out SQUID proxy

 

Squid is obviously the best solution.
