[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 919716"] 1) The strongest of networks control outbound/egress of every IP/FQDN. That is - default deny of all outbound, unless explicitly allowed. This is the best, but hardest to manage since you have to spend a long time whitelisting, then have to routinely whitelist based on user/product changes as time goes on. It's quite annoying. 2) The next strongest is a deep, widespread, extensive blocklist covering millions of domains/IPs to the extent that you blacklist the vast majority of bad sites/CDN's/adservers, and other things while still allowing full user activity. 3) The weakest is just to allow anything, and rely on browser blocks or whatever your AV blocks, and using a non-filtering, weak public DNS. Take your pick. I'm pretty close to being between 1 and 2. I disallow a whole lot of IP addresses and FQDN's. Many many millions. I have a personal blacklist that covers other sites I don't want anyone accessing (Like Google Searches, Facebook, Tiktok, etc). Hybrid I guess... [/QUOTE]
