Hi,
I am using Squid for local users since two years & is working fine. I am trying to implement web filtering for remote computers e.g few laptops & branch / franchise computers on dynamic ips.
I do not want to use Squid proxy for it, if all remote computers will use Squid from my public ip, bandwidth utilization will increase. Need valuable suggestion to achieve this.

how are these remote computers connected to the network, and what OS are they running?
filtering, by necessity, has to be between the user and the thing you want to filter.

all are windows clients connecting through internet using dynamic ips.

Good morning:
If your needs are simple (e.g. you are able to apply one filtering policy to roughly all users at the same time and you aren't concerned with per-user reporting on usage for accountability, etc.) you can try OpenDNS. I just use this service for normal name resolution but they have a filtering service as well. http://www.opendns.com/solutions/enterprise/filtering/
Of course you can get around this filtering scheme but then no web filtering technique is fool-proof...and blocking outbound dns requests to all resolvers except the IP addresses of OpenDNS (there are just two to put in your firewall) would go a long way towards preventing users from escaping the filter.
